Dispute Summary
The appeal challenged whether video parlors operating in Haryana using VCRs to show pre-recorded cinematograph films were covered by the Cinematograph Act, 1952. The Supreme Court affirmed that since 'cinematograph' includes any apparatus for the representation of running pictures, the VCR falls within this definition.
