The Delhi High Court issued a notice regarding Aaradhya Bachchan's application related to the circulation of wrong media information about her. The Court issued notices to defendants, including Google, Bollywood Times, and other websites. The next date of hearing is March 17.

Earlier, Aaradhya Bachchan moved the Delhi High Court on April 19, 2023, against a YouTube channel for reporting fake news about her health. In her plea, Aaradhya Bachchan said that though she's a healthy school-going-child, over time some channels are circulating videos on YouTube for views stating she is critically ill. One video even claimed that she is no more, she said in her plea. During the 2023 hearing, Justice C Hari Shankar said that a child is entitled to be treated with honor and respect, and dissemination of misleading information in respect of a child's health was “completely intolerable in law”.  

The court also issued summons to the YouTube channels, including "Bollywood Time", "Bolly Pakora", "Bolly Samosa", "Bollywood Shine" and others, saying a prima facie case was made out for a grant of interim relief to prevent further prejudice. The court asked Google to give details regarding the entities that uploaded such videos and said publishing any future misleading videos should be brought to Google's notice. Additionally, the court asked the center to block access to misleading content and stated Google was duty-bound to follow the legal framework.

The High Court observed that such circulation of misleading information about a child at such a young age can affect the health of small child.
