Kala Hiran teaser row: Producer Amit Jani moves Supreme Court against Delhi HC order Film producer Amit Jani has challenged the Delhi High Court's order in the Supreme Court, seeking relief over the takedown of the teaser and promotional material for his film Kala Hiran – The Battle For Legacy, ANI reported. The plea comes weeks after the High Court directed the makers to remove the content from public platforms. The legal dispute centres on Salman Khan's personality rights, with the Delhi High Court finding that Amit Jani's film's promotional material appeared to misuse the actor's identity and could damage his public image. The Supreme Court will now examine Jani's challenge to the interim order. The Delhi High Court has in an interim order directed the removal of a teaser for the film "Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legal", purportedly based on actor Salman Khan, and other related posts from online platforms, after he objected to them. Justice Jyoti Singh, in the order passed on July 27 on Khan's application, said the makers of 'Kala Hiran' cannot exploit the 59-year-old Bollywood star's name, mannerisms and other distinctive attributes for commercial gains without his authorisation or disseminate content that injures his reputation. The court observed that using social media to disseminate content that violates personality rights or harms reputation exacerbates the mischief, given the speed, reach and permanence of digital publications. --- Salman Khan personality rights case: ‘Kala Hiran’ producer Amit Jani moves Supreme Court against Delhi HC order etimes.in / Aug 19, 2026, 17:24 (IST) 'Kala Hiran' producer Amit Jani has moved the Supreme Court against a Delhi HC order that removed the film's teaser and promotional content over Salma ‘Kala Hiran – The Battle For Legacy’ producer Amit Jani has taken the matter to the Supreme Court, contesting a Delhi High Court order that resulted in the removal of the teaser and promotional content for his film.

Bharat.Law, NLU Delhi sign MoU to promote responsible, verifiable AI use in legal education - Industry - 2 min read Bharat.Law, NLU Delhi sign MoU to promote responsible, verifiable AI use in legal education Partnership will deploy Bharat.Law's NyaI™ across NLU Delhi and explore India-specific benchmarks and standards for legal AI Bharat.Law has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) to deploy its legal AI platform - NyaI™ across the university and train the next generation of lawyers in the appropriate, competent and ethical use of artificial intelligence. The partnership also aims to develop open, India-specific standards and benchmarks to assess both legal AI systems and the professionals using them, making it a first-of-its-kind collaboration between a National Law University and a legal technology provider focused on developing verifiable AI for the Indian legal sector. Prof. (Dr.) Risham Garg, Professor of Law & Registrar, NLU Delhi, said the university's existing focus on legal technology made the partnership a natural fit. “We are moving towards integration and development of legal technology,” Garg said, adding that the university has already been deploying AI resources and working with legal technology startups. The Bharat.Law platform will be deployed across the university for students and faculty, with the rollout expected to begin within a week. “This tool will be deployed all across the university, all faculty members, all students, and it will be useful for everybody,” Garg said. The university also plans to introduce training and certification around the use of AI in legal work. Garg said NLU Delhi is preparing a dedicated standard operating procedure for responsible AI use. “We are in the process of preparing an internal SOP for ethical use of AI which we will be deploying,” he said.

The Centre on Thursday told the Supreme Court that it is reconsidering the University Grants Commission’s (UGC) new equity regulations aimed at addressing caste-based discrimination in higher education institutions. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the UGC, told a bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant that the government was examining the regulations and had not yet decided on the course it would take. “I’m not saying which way it will go, but we are reconsidering it,” Mehta told the court. The court, meanwhile, granted the UGC four weeks to respond to a batch of petitions challenging the regulations and directed it to file a comprehensive counter-affidavit addressing the issues raised by all the petitioners. The court earlier said to put the rules in abeyance till the time the finalisation has been made. UGC ASKED TO FILE COMMON RESPONSE The Supreme Court directed that copies of the UGC’s affidavit be furnished to all the petitioners. The petitioners will then have two weeks to file their rejoinders.
