Madras High Court Restrains Internet Service Providers From Illegally Streaming “Happy Patel” Movie
The Madras High Court has restrained more than 30 internet service providers from illegally streaming the upcoming Hindi movie “Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos” produced by Aamir Khan Productions Private Limited.
Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy issued the interim direction in a plea moved by the production company. Noting that the irreparable injury would be caused unless interim relief is granted, the court ordered accordingly.
At the same time, the court noted that due to the expansive nature of the relief claimed, it was possible that legitimate business interests might also get affected. In such cases, the court directed the production house to indemnify the parties concerned.
“In matters of this nature, it is likely that irreparable injury would be caused unless ad interim relief is granted. At the same time, in view of the expansive nature of the relief claimed, it is possible that the legitimate business interest of one or more respondents may be affected. Therefore, the plaintiff shall indemnify in respect thereof,” the court said.
Happy Patel is an upcoming spy comedy movie produced by Aamir Khan Productions and starring Vir Das in the titular role alongside Sanjay Dutt among others.
