The Delhi High Court has granted interim protection to entrepreneur and “Shark Tank India” judge Aman Gupta in a lawsuit alleging widespread misuse of his identity across online platforms, including AI-generated deepfakes, fake endorsement listings, unauthorized merchandise, and obscene content.

Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt and a public personality associated with “Shark Tank India,” approached the High Court claiming that several websites, social media accounts, chatbot services, and online sellers were commercially exploiting his identity.

The Supreme Court has altered the conviction of a Madhya Pradesh man from murder to attempt to murder, holding that the prosecution failed to prove he shared a “common intention” with the main accused in a 1999 firing incident that led to a man’s death.

The case arose from a firing incident that took place on May 12, 1999, in Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh. According to the prosecution, Deshpal Singh was attacked by multiple persons using firearms and other weapons. He later died during treatment, following which the offence was converted from attempt to murder to murder.

The Supreme Court has ruled that electricity consumers in Delhi cannot be forced to bear tariff charges for a power plant that stopped supplying electricity after March 2018. In a significant judgment, the Court set aside an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) that had allowed Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) to recover the full capital cost of the Rithala gas-based power plant over 15 years.

The dispute arose from the Rithala Combined Cycle Power Plant in Delhi, established by TPDDL ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games to meet peak electricity demand. The project was approved as a temporary arrangement with an operational life of only five to six years.
