The Delhi High Court has ruled that the right to privacy is essentially a right in personam and therefore is not inheritable by the mothers or legal heirs of the deceased persons. Denying interim relief to the plaintiffs, the court observed that while the 'right to be left alone' is an aspect of right to privacy, however, it "can also operate" within its limits and cannot be termed as a right to be left alone especially when the plaintiffs barely get any mention in the movie. In this backdrop, the court said "Merely because the two girls may get identified from the material already available and the extensive reporting of the incident, would not be a sufficient ground to create an apprehension of a laudatory role given to Faraaz and rise into a higher level of humanity by sacrificing his own life to save the life of the two girls which is intended to be brought in the public domain."
