Dispute Summary
The plaintiffs, film production companies incorporated in the USA, filed a suit alleging unauthorized duplication and exhibition of their films on the defendant's cable network. The defendant challenged the court's jurisdiction by seeking return of the plaint. The Delhi High Court rejected the application, holding that specific averments regarding Plaintiff No. 1 having a local office in Delhi were sufficient to confer territorial jurisdiction under Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act.
