Section 50 of the Copyright Act 1957 deals with
'Rectification of Register by Copyright Board. The provision
reads:
The Copyright Board, on application of the Registrar of
Copyrights or of any person aggrieved, shall order the
rectification of the Registrar of Copyrights by-
- the making of any entry wrongly omitted to be made in the
Registrar, or
- the expunging of any entry wrongly made in, or remaining on,
the register, or
- the correction of any error or defect in the register.
The Copyright Board revisited the provision along with Rule
16(3) of the Copyright Rules in the case of G. Rosammal, M/s Swarna
Match Factory Vs. L. Chhotalal Samji Virani, M/s L. Chhotalal &
Co. 2010 (42) PTC 142(CB) .G. Rosammal, representative of M/s
