Supreme Court Declines PIL on Deepfakes Videos of Col Sofiya Qureshi, Directs Petitioner to Delhi HC

The Supreme Court has declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Advocate Narendra Kumar Goswami, which sought the formation of a court-monitored expert panel to draft a model law regulating AI-generated deepfakes.

The petitioner highlighted the circulation of deepfake videos featuring Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who had led media briefings on Operation Sindoor.

Acknowledging the seriousness of the issue, the bench noted that similar matters are already under consideration by the Delhi High Court.

The Court advised the petitioner to approach the High Court, granting him liberty to seek impleadment and present his suggestions in the ongoing proceedings.
