ORDER
In a suit seeking remedies in respect of apprehended infringement of the plaintiff’s copyright in respect of the cinematographic film DASHAVATAR, the plaintiff has presented these two applications seeking interim injunctions against the Internet service providers and cable TV operators, who have been arrayed as respondents in the respective applications, from infringing the plaintiff’s
copyright.
2.As proof of the Applicant/plaintiff’s ownership of the copyright, the plaintiff has filed the CBFC certificate describing the plaintiff as the producer of the movie. The promotional material indicates that the movie is slated for
release today.
3.In matters of this nature, it is likely that irreversible injury will occur unless unlawful broadcast is restrained. At the same time, it is possible that the legitimate business interest of one or more respondents may be affected on account of the expansive nature of relief claimed. Therefore, it is just and
necessary that the plaintiff indemnify in respect thereof.
4.Subject to the aforesaid condition, orders of ad interim injunction as prayed for are granted in these applications until 10.10.2025. Issue notice to the respondents returnable on 10.10.2025. Private notice is also permitted. The
applicant shall comply with Order XXXIX Rule 3 CPC.
5.List the matter on 10.10.2025.
