Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Special Leave Petitions concerning the refusal of interim relief by the Madras High Court regarding the Copyright Board's order on royalty rates under Section 31(1)(b) of the Copyright Act, 1957. The Court emphasized the importance of interim orders during the pendency of appeals and noted the need for clarity on the royalty rates set by the Copyright Board. The petitions were allowed, and the Court directed the lower courts to reconsider the interim relief applications in light of the ongoing appeals.
