On 26 July 2024 Justice R.I. Chagla of the Bombay High Court granted singer Arijit Singh an ex parte interim injunction against 38 defendants in Arijit Singh v. Codible Ventures LLP. The order bars use of his name, voice, vocal style and likeness without consent, including through AI voice models, voice conversion tools, deepfakes and digital avatars, and orders takedowns of listed URLs. The court held prima facie that offering AI tools that convert any voice into a celebrity’s voice violates personality rights.

Why it matters

The Bombay High Court treated AI voice cloning of a public figure as a prima facie personality-rights violation, so voice-model platforms in India face takedown orders and injunctions.
