Drishti IAS Founder Vikas Divyakirti Moves Delhi High Court Seeking Protection Of Personality Rights
Vikas Divyakirti of Drishti IAS has moved the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights,
The suit was listed on Thursday before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav
The court directed that the matter be transferred to a coordinate bench already dealing with personality rights disputes, rather than proceeding before it.
Divyakirti, the founder of Drishti IAS, a UPSC coaching institute, filed the suit through counsel who told the court that it seeks protection against three distinct kinds of violations of his personality rights, including the misuse of his identity through fake profiles.
The specific relief sought and the parties arrayed as defendants were not detailed at this stage of the hearing.
Since counsel pointed out that a coordinate bench was already hearing the broader question of personality rights protection in several other cases, Justice Kaurav declined to proceed with the matter himself.
The court ordered, "Under the aforesaid circumstances, let this matter be also listed before the bench hearing the issue relating to personality rights."
The matter has been directed to be listed before the roster bench hearing personality rights matters on Tuesday.
