Delhi High Court Lets 'UP 77' Stream, Orders Disclaimer After Producer Calls It Fiction

Relying on producers' assurance of pure fiction, the court ordered disclaimers with an affidavit rather than a pre-release ban.

Overview

  • The series remains scheduled to premiere on Waves OTT on December 25, with no interim stay from the bench led by Justice Sachin Datta.
  • Producers told the court the show is not based on any real person, and the court recorded their commitment to issue a public disclaimer and undertaking.
  • The court directed that no promotional material may refer to the name of Vikas Dubey and asked the producers to file an affidavit within two weeks.
  • Petitioner Richa Dubey alleges the work is an unauthorised biographical portrayal that sensationalises private family matters and violates privacy and dignity.
  • The case is listed for further hearing on January 7, 2026, with the court seeking the producers' filings to substantiate their assurances.
