Super Cassettes Supersedes Nirulas

The concept of Copyright pronounces itself to be a "bundle of rights". In this bundle, parties often find themselves entangled in disputes whereby they perceive the other party to be infringing their right. The copyright statute in India, being extensive in nature, covering a wide arena of inclusions and exclusions, often finds a place in judicial ponder. The existence of an act of infringement, engulfing a discussion on a varied class of rights, cropped up as a point of debate in Super Cassettes Industries v. Nirulas Corner House (P) Ltd. [2008 (37) PTC 237 (Del.)] This decision of the Delhi High Court, is yet another in a series of verdicts deliberating upon the aspects of "communication to public" and "infringement."
