Delhi High Court · Ellipses

The Election Commission has told the Delhi High Court that an objection still holds up a decision on registering Waris Punjab De as a political party. Its inquiry through Punjab's chief electoral officer is still pending.

The objection came in July 2026 and alleged the group had separatist roots. The party first applied in January 2025.

If the inquiry comes back favourable, the party must still publish public notices and allow 30 days for objections. The High Court hears the case again on January 11, 2027.

Amitabh Bachchan has won a legal case over the misuse of his name, image and voice. On November 5, the Delhi High Court barred several parties from profiting off his identity without permission.

Eight defendants are bound by the order. Four settled with the actor and agreed not to use his persona, while four others who did not respond to the suit were ruled against.

The misuse he cited included a video call app using his name and fake lottery messages on WhatsApp. He can still bring fresh action if another issue arises.
