court petition; it does not name any AI model, developer, tool or deployment, so system fields are null/unknown. No date of the deepfake creation or posting is given; only the publication date (2026-11-03) and the scheduled hearing date (November 4) are stated. No monetary loss, record count, or number of affected platforms is stated. incident_class is set to 'other' because the harm is non-consensual deepfake/morphed imagery and unauthorised likeness use, which fits neither privacy_leakage (no data system exposure) nor ip_infringement (personality rights rather than protected work reproduction) cleanly; this is a judgement call. No autonomous agent was involved, so agent_involved is false and failure_class is null. Detection method and trigger are not stated. Country inferred as IN from the Bombay High Court and Indian television context.
