The Madras High Court on Wednesday (April 8, 2026) dismissed a batch of six writ appeals filed by a Punjab-based cyber security expert who had reportedly accessed sensitive personal data related to the customers of Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Limited.

Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan said, the appellant Himanshu Pathak was facing civil as well as criminal cases for unauthorised access of the data and hence, no direction could be issued against the insurance company at his instance.
