The High Court also ordered the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and Telecom Services to remove their content.
What was Amitabh's objection
Actually, many small and big companies use Amitabh's photo, voice and name without permission. His face is shown in many advertisements without his permission. Amitabh's lawyer Harish Salve had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court regarding this matter. It was appealed that this should be banned in the commercial industry.

From t-shirt to book, Amitabh's photo and voice in lottery
During the hearing, Harish Salve gave examples of some advertisements in which Big B's face was used. Apart from this, he also said that someone is putting Amitabh's face on T-shirts, while someone is selling his poster. At the same time, someone has registered a domain name in his name. Because of this, he wants that his name, voice and personality should not be used in any ad.
Harish Salve told how KBC lottery registration and how to become a lottery winner is a copy of Kaun Banega Crorepati. We came to know about this at the end of October. This lottery is some kind of scam. Somebody is depositing money. Nobody is winning. Amitabh's picture is also being used in video calls. His picture appears when you call. There is a fake voice, which sounds like Amitabh.
