London, June 26 : It has emerged Cheryl Cole has obtained a new High Court injunction, which threatens anyone who takes her photo with jail.
The order granted by Justice Eady is so wide-ranging that a fan who has snapped her in the street and does so again runs the risk of prison, reports the Daily Star.
The 'crackpot' order was pinned to lampposts outside her former home in Enfield, north London.
It states it has been issued against "XYZ and others", explaining that means anyone who has photographed her 'at her home and in the street during 2011'.
And in stern block capital letters, it threatens: "Any person who knows of this order and disobeys this order...may be held to be in contempt of court and may be imprisoned, fined or have their assets seized."
Employees, bosses and even friends of the 'defendants' are also restricted.
Legal experts blasted the granting of the order, pointing out Cheryl has used the Press throughout her career to build her fame and fortune.
