The Supreme Court of India quashed proceedings against filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh in a copyright case related to Kahaani 2. The court set aside earlier orders by a Jharkhand court and the High Court. The case, filed by Umesh Prasad Mehta, alleged script theft, which Ghosh had challenged.
The Supreme Court on Friday quashed the proceedings pending before a Jharkhand court against filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh in an alleged copyright infringement case over his movie 'Kahaani 2'.
A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe allowed Ghosh's plea, challenging a Jharkhand High Court's order (dated April 22, 2025), which had refused to quash the proceedings pending against him.
"The summoning order dated June 7, 2018 passed by the CJM (Chief Judicial Magistrate) and order dated April 22, 2025 passed by the high court are quashed and set aside," the bench said, while allowing Ghosh's plea.
In July last year, the top court issued notice to the Jharkhand government on Ghosh's plea to quash the case pending before the court of CJM, Hazaribagh.
