The Delhi High Court is set to consider a petition filed by Sushant Singh Rajput's father, opposing a movie purportedly depicting the late actor's life. The court has scheduled the hearing for February 12 next year and has granted time for all concerned parties to respond to the notices issued to them. According to Singh's father's legal representative, four respondents have legal representation, while others have been served notices in the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput's father has submitted a petition opposing a film titled 'Nyay: The Justice,' claiming it is based on the life and experiences of the late actor. 

The petition was lodged in response to a prior decision by the Delhi High Court, which declined to prohibit the streaming of the film.

The petitioner contested the order before a division bench comprising Justice Yashwant Varma and Justice Dharmesh Sharma. Subsequently, the court issued a notice and requested a response from the filmmakers involved.

In the Thursday hearing, the legal representative for the deceased actor's father informed the court that the contested order acknowledges the father's right to privacy but hasn't addressed it adequately. Notices were served to other respondents in the case through online means due to the unavailability of their precise details, as conveyed by the counsel. Consequently, the court scheduled the next hearing for February 12, granting all parties the opportunity to submit their responses.

A sole judge of the Delhi High Court had rejected an application by Sushant Singh Rajput's father in July. The application targeted the director and producers of the film, requesting an interlocutory injunction. However, the court ruled that an injunction could not be granted as the film had already been released on a platform and likely viewed by a large audience. The court also asserted that the relief sought by Sushant's father, encompassing rights of privacy, publicity, and personality belonging to the late actor, ceased to exist with his death and were not inheritable.

The court acknowledged that it was misleading for the filmmakers to claim that the movie is a generalized depiction of struggling actors in the Bollywood industry, especially when it essentially portrays the day-to-day narrative of Sushant Singh Rajput's life.
