As of now, there are no verified reports indicating that the Madras High Court has directed Meta and Telegram to remove accounts unauthorizedly using dancer Anita Ratnam’s photos and audio. However, the court has previously addressed similar issues concerning unauthorized content on digital platforms.

In October 2024, the Madras High Court ordered Telegram to delete posts and chatbots disseminating leaked customer data from Star Health Insurance. The court emphasized the need for platforms to act swiftly upon receiving specific information about infringing content .

Similarly, in September 2023, the Delhi High Court directed Meta and Telegram to suspend groups and channels illegally circulating content related to the film “Jawan,” highlighting the judiciary’s stance on protecting intellectual property and personality rights .

These instances underscore the courts’ proactive approach in addressing unauthorized use of personal and copyrighted content on digital platforms. If any new developments arise regarding Anita Ratnam’s case, they would likely follow similar legal precedents.
