Bombay HC to hear today Sony Network' plea on Harshad Mehta web series

Sony Pictures Network India, which owns SonyLIV app, has approached Bombay High Court seeking to quash a first information report (FIR) registered against it by Pune police on a complaint by Karad Urban Co-operative Bank (KUCB) for offences of criminal defamation and trademark infringement.

Through an urgent mentioning of its plea on Friday, Sony Pictures told HC the complaint filed by KUCB against unknown persons alleged that in one of the episodes of the series ‘Scam 1992’, telecast on its streaming platform SonyLIV,  a logo similar to that of the complainant bank had been displayed in the background, which it claimed had caused serious damage to the bank’s reputation, PTI reported from Mumbai.

In its plea filed earlier this month in HC, Sony Pictures said a disclaimer against all liabilities towards the aired content was published at the beginning of every episode of the series.

It also said the complaint was baseless and absurd.

Sony Pictures has sought an interim stay on the investigation into the police complaint and urged the court to direct the police to not take any coercive action against its representatives and staff till the petition is heard for final relief.

The Mumbai court in an oral order directed Pune police to not take coercive action against the petitioners and listed the matter for hearing for interim relief on August 23.
