Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision refusing to quash a complaint under Section 63 of the Copyright Act, 1957, and Sections 406 and 420 IPC. The Court emphasized that the tenability of the complaint must be assessed based on the allegations of copyright infringement regarding the film title 'Desi Boyz'. The Court found no merit in the appellants' claims to quash the proceedings, affirming the High Court's ruling that the complaint was maintainable.
