Indian Performing Rights Society Ltd vs Sanjay Dalia & Anr

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 62 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and Section 134(2) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, clarifying that a plaintiff can file a suit where they carry on business, irrespective of where the cause of action arises. The Court held that the High Court's interpretation, which required the cause of action to be linked to the jurisdiction, was incorrect. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order that dismissed the amendment application and upheld the objection regarding territorial jurisdiction.
