Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India has quashed all copyright infringement proceedings against filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh related to his movie 'Kahaani 2'. The case originated from a complaint by Umesh Prasad Mehta, who alleged that Ghosh unlawfully used his script titled 'Sabak'. The Chief Judicial Magistrate in Hazaribagh had found a prima facie case under Section 63 of the Copyright law of India, and the India — Jharkhand High Court had refused to quash these proceedings. However, the India — Supreme Court of India allowed Sujoy Ghosh's plea, setting aside both the 2018 summoning order and the 2025 India — Jharkhand High Court order, thereby bringing an end to the protracted legal battle.
