Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court entertained a special leave petition due to the urgency of the matter, involving a dispute over a television serial allegedly based on a novel by the petitioners. The Court noted that the respondents had not adequately addressed the petitioners' claims, including an admission by respondent No. 3 regarding the basis of the serial. The Court issued an interim stay on the appellate order of the High Court, which had vacated an earlier ex-parte injunction in favor of the petitioners, to prevent irreparable loss pending further orders.
