Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed whether the Copyright Board can issue an interim order under Section 31 of the Copyright Act, 1957, during a pending complaint. The Court held that the Copyright Board has the authority to grant an interim compulsory licence even while considering the main application for a compulsory licence, particularly when disputes arise over the quantum of the licence fee. The Delhi High Court's order reversing the Copyright Board's decision was upheld, allowing for interim measures to be taken in copyright disputes.
