💨 Abstract

The Bombay High Court has deemed the unauthorized use of a woman's image in government advertisements as "commercial exploitation" and "serious" in the digital era and social media. A petition was filed by Namrata Ankush Kawale, alleging that her photo, taken by a local photographer, was illegally uploaded to Shutterstock and used without consent by several governments, the Congress Party, and private companies.
