Supreme Court Clears Sujoy Ghosh of Copyright Infringement in 'Kahaani 2' Case

The Supreme Court quashed proceedings against filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh for alleged copyright infringement related to his film 'Kahaani 2'. The case was initially dismissed by a Jharkhand court despite Ghosh's plea. The complainant accused Ghosh of using his script for the film without consent.

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, quashing all ongoing proceedings in a copyright infringement case linked to his film 'Kahaani 2'.

In this high-profile case, original complainant Umesh Prasad Mehta accused Ghosh of unauthorizedly using his script to produce the film, a claim that had been upheld by a lower court in Jharkhand.

Ghosh had challenged the Jharkhand High Court's refusal to quash the charges, a decision now overturned by a bench comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, bringing relief to the filmmaker.
