NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday declined to issue an interim order against the release of the upcoming web series 'UP 77', which is allegedly based on the life of slain Uttar Pradesh gangster Vikas Dubey.
A single-judge Bench of Justice Sachin Datta, while hearing a writ petition filed by Dubey’s wife, Richa Dubey, recorded the producer’s undertaking that the show is a work of pure fiction and not based on the life of any real person.
Justice Datta also noted the producer’s submission that a disclaimer clarifying the fictional nature of the web series would be displayed before every episode.
Furthermore, the Delhi High Court recorded the producer’s assurance that none of the promotional material would refer to the name of the deceased gangster.
