Mustaq Mohsin, the complainant, asserted that he had talked about a script named 'Inquilab' with Bollywood Director Omprakash Mehra who thus utilized something very similar for his film ‘Rang de Basanti' which was delivered in 2006. The maker of the film, Ronnie Screwvala was likewise summoned a denounced. On Mohsin's grievance, the Legal Officer at Aurangabad has initiated proceedings against Mehra and Screwvala.
Mehra then, at that point, moved an application for release on the accompanying grounds:
No offence was made out to give process; Complainant didn't make out elements of the offence and stifled material realities misdirecting the court to acquire request of issue process; Whole content of Rang de Basant is special and unique and though not quite the same as the supposed content of 'Inquilab'; Under the Copyright Act, there is no bar to create indistinguishable outcome by utilizing same thought, as there is no copyright for thought; The affirmed script isn't copyright ensured, nor distributed; the whole debate would need to be supported as that being of unadulterated common nature;
The Chief Area Judge had returned the common suit recorded by Mohsin and the request for return of plaint has not been tested which mirrors that "the goal to arraign is to acquire undesirable exposure by abuse of police and legal hardware".
As it turns out, Screwvala attacked the request under the watchful eye of the Aurangabad Meetings Court which put away the request giving interaction. The Session Court likewise saw that the "criminal procedure itself was not valid as the story (Inquilab) was not enrolled" and that there was no "at first sight material to demonstrate the offences culpable under the Copyright Act".
The petition against Screwvala was excused by the Session Court. While hearing Mehra's release application, Judge VH Khedkar depended upon the request for the Sessions Court. The adjudicator noticed that the amendment application had been permitted yet not by "separating the job of charged no. 2 (Screwvala) from present charged (Mehra)" and that request had not been tested in High Court.
Henceforth, the perceptions made for the current procedure by a Sessions Court were restricting on the lower court. The court hence held that "In such circumstance, if the charge is framed, it will be a groundless charge. Therefore, it is proper to discharge accused No. 2 vide Section 245(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure," Considering the limiting perceptions of the Sessions Court, the Justice concluded there was no reason in outlining charge and continued to release the director.
