The Delhi High Court has restrained several rogue websites from illegally streaming, hosting, or screening the upcoming Bollywood film ‘Jolly LLB 3’, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, ahead of its theatrical release on September 19.

Passing a dynamic+ injunction, Justice Tejas Karia observed that any delay in blocking access to such websites could cause significant financial losses to the producers and lead to an irreparable breach of copyright.

According to a report in The Hindu, the film has been commissioned by JioStar India Private Limited, which engaged Kangra Talkies for development and line production. Kangra Talkies confirmed before the court that JioStar is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, including intellectual property and exploitation rights, of the movie and its script. On this basis, the court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favour of JioStar in its copyright infringement suit against the rogue websites.
