12. It is further submitted that as on to-day, the Plaintiff is banished from the political party. On the other hand, throughout their Constituencies, in all kinds of media, the photographs and images of the Plaintiff is being displayed and exhibited for the political gains of the defendant nos.3 to21. However, all these acts are nothing but malicious being carried on without the consent of the Plaintiff by the aforesaid defendants.
13. It is submitted that the Plaintiff being a Founder, as on to-day, he is not within the party, but at the same time, the Fame of the Plaintiff is being harvested for the political gains of the defendant nos.3 to 21. Being a living person, the Plaintiff has Unique Identity in the Country and having protection of his Right to Privacy. In fact, Rule of Law is bedrock of our Constitution, it would apposite to say that without getting concurrence
from the plaintiff, no one is entitled to use his photograph in any form in any media including the social, digital medias and all kinds of telecasting medias.
14. It is further submitted that Right to Privacy is an independent right as guaranteed under the Constitution without any ambiguity. So, the photographs of the Plaintiff being displayed in various platforms without his consent for the personal and political gains of the defendant nos.3 to 21 are not only condemnable, but the same is an offence under the relevant provisions of various laws. However, for the usage of the same, the defendants mentioned herein are jointly liable to pay damages to the tune of several crores of rupees, but the Plaintiff has confined the claim of damages to the tune of Rs.50,00,000/-(Rupees Fifty Lakhs only).
15. It is submitted that for instances the flex boards, banners and other kinds of displays are herein annexed in the list of documents of the plaint, which are collected throughout the State.

16. It is submitted that since the oral instructions to the Defendants concerned have not fetched good things, the Plaintiff was constrained to send a legal notice dated 08.04.2026 and 09.04.2026 to all the defendants to stop their illegalities and to stop the same immediately dated 08.04.2026 and 09.04.2026. Since acts of the defendant nos.3 to 21 is not only illegal, but would amount to an act of intrusion of the Fundamental and Civil Rights of the Plaintiff. However, on 09.04.2026, the defendants nos. 1 and 2 being competent authorities of the Election Commission of India are also put on notice, since Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in force in view of forth coming General Election, 2026 for the State Legislative Assembly, to initiate legal action against the erred. So, viewing from any angle, the using of photos and images of the Plaintiff as referred above is not only illegal and unauthorized, but the same would be an invasion upon the Reputation, Fame and Goodwill of the Plaintiff.
17. It is submitted that the defendants nos. 3 to 21 have been using the photographs of the Plaintiff in the ongoing State Legislative Assembly Election campaign, 2026 without his permission or consent in almost all the places of their constituencies almost in all the conspicuous places of Wards of Greater Chennai Corporation. It has come to knowledge of the Plaintiff that the Plaintiff’s photograph is being displayed in the Flex boards, banners posters, bit notices and pamphlets within jurisdiction of the constituency where the defendants nos. 4 to 21 are contesting at the instance of the 3rd and 4th Defendants. Such unauthorized use of the photograph of the Plaintiff is illegal, misuse of identity and is causing serious harm to the Plaintiff’s reputation. Hence, the contesting candidates are to be restrained from using the photographs, portraits and images of the Plaintiff and they are to be directed to remove all the posters, flex banners, bit notice, wall paintings and pamphlets containing the photographs of the Plaintiff. Failing which, the official defendants are to be directed to initiate legal action against the erred defendants in accordance with law with immediate effect.
18. It is submitted that the plaintiff has lodged complained to initiate legal action to the defendant no’s: 1 and 2 and the concerned District Collectors where the 4th to 21 are contesting respectively as their acts are totally illegal and in fact they are liable for legal action, but no legal action is initiated. Further, the defendants nos. 4 to 21 have used the fame and goodwill of the plaintiff in the ongoing election campaign under various platform are liable to pay damages to the plaintiff to the tune of Rs. 50,00,000/-, even though the fame of the plaintiff cannot be valued in terms of money.
19. It is submitted that as the date election is scheduled on 23.04.2026, in the prevailing circumstances, the plaintiff is constrained to file the instant suit to get the protection to protect his Fundamental Right to Privacy. Otherwise, the individual Defendants would continue their illegalities in the name of election campaign.
