Delhi High Court Refuses to Stay Release of Web Series UP 77 After Fiction Disclaimer Assurance

The Delhi High Court declined to stay the release of the web series UP 77, after the producer stated it is a work of fiction and not based on gangster Vikas Dubey.

The Court noted the producer’s assurance that a clear disclaimer to this effect would appear before every episode. The plea was filed by Dubey’s wife, who alleged that the series violated her right to privacy and dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The Court recorded the producer’s undertaking and directed submission of an affidavit regarding the disclaimer. 

The matter is listed for further hearing on January 7, 2026.
