The hearing was presided over by Justice Jyoti Singh, who has also asked for the removal of all the URLs carrying unauthorised content on Tabu, and the order has been passed for various platforms like Google, Meta, X and other social media mediums. The court also acknowledged Tabu’s stage name ‘Tabu’, her voice, personality and everything that makes her distinct and known in public.
