        So umm, I’m writing this on behalf of a friend of mine as he’s not on reddit .. He noticed that a local coaching for JEE in his neighbourhood is using his picture for advertising themselves.
        Now this friend of mine, had prepared by himself, didn’t attend school half the time.
        The person who owns that coaching taught in the school that he was enrolled into and claims to be legally correct using his picture to advertise.
        All of it was done without his consent and without him knowing.
        The question is, is it legally correct for him to use his name for themselves? Or even for the school? Again, Without his consent.
        Also what cases can be applied for this if it is not so?

            Defamation suit in court / Complaint at district consumer forum / FIR for cheating . But first a notice could be drafted with help of chat GPT addressed to the coaching for the removal of said advertisement otherwise he will pursue all the legal options. Make sure to send it to the notice by registered post and keep the receipt. If no action within a week . Hire a lawyer and get started
