Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Delhi High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's suit for copyright infringement under Section 25-C of the Copyright Act, 1957, based on jurisdictional grounds. The Court established that the location of the defendant does not preclude the jurisdiction of the Delhi High Court, especially when the cause of action arose within its territory. The Court reversed the High Court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings, affirming the appellant's right to seek relief for copyright infringement.
