21.
The instant suit is being filed for permanent injunction, rendition of
accounts and damages, on account of blatant piracy of the plaintiff’s works
and infringement of copyright and broadcast reproduction rights of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff, a reputed broadcaster, production house and film
studio, owns and operates the Zee Channels and the digital entertainment
platform/streaming service called ‘Zee5’ respectively.
I.A. 43185/2024 (Under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 CPC)
22.
It is submitted that the plaintiff has the exclusive distribution rights to
publicly exhibit and communicate through any medium or mode, the content
on Zee5 and the Zee Channels produced by the plaintiff or exclusively
licensed/assigned to the plaintiff (“plaintiff’s works”). The plaintiff’s works
are protected as “Cinematograph Films” under Section 2(f) read with
Section 13 of the Copyright Act, 1957 (“the Act”). The plaintiff has the
exclusive right to make the plaintiff’s works available for being seen or
heard, or otherwise enjoyed by the public, as enumerated under Section
14(d) of the Act, and further, is also entitled to broadcast reproduction rights
in respect of its broadcasts, under Section 37 of the Act.
23.
It is submitted that the plaintiff has observed the rampant and large-
scale infringement of the plaintiff’s works by the defendant nos. 1 to 60
arrayed in the present suit, which are rogue websites engaged in
communicating to the public, hosting, streaming and/or making available to

the public the plaintiff’s works without authorization, and/or facilitating the
same. The plaintiff has come across its original content/television shows/
series, such as Bastar - The Naxal Story, Kakuda, Rautu ka Raaz, Silence 2 -
The Night Owl Bar Shootout, Kumkum Bhagya, Bhagya Laxmi, Appi
Amchi Collector, Khundali Bhagya, Saatvya Mulichi Saatvi Mulgi,
Idhayam, Sunflower, Ayali, Rangbaaz Season 3, Thalamai Seiyalagam,
Broken News, Paruvu, Murshid, Karenjit Kaur, and Sitara being hosted and /
or streamed on the defendant websites, without any authorisation by the
plaintiff.
24.
It is submitted that defendant nos. 1 to 60 are essentially, ‘rogue
websites’ which are engaged in displaying pirated content in order to obtain
certain financial benefits. The defendant websites are anonymous in nature,
the owners of which are virtually impossible to locate, as the information
provided in the public domain is either, incomplete, incorrect and/or
protected behind a veil of secrecy. The defendant websites’ mala fides are
evident from the vast volume of third-party content available on its websites;
the systematic, organised and intentional nature of the infringement; and
also the regularity and consistency with which content is updated/uploaded
on the websites, as is evident from the documents filed along with the plaint.
Such voluminous evidence of copyright infringement by the said defendants
clearly establishes that the defendant websites are ‘rogue’ in terms of the
judgment of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in UTV Software
Communications Ltd. & Anr. v. 1337x.to and Ors. (2019 SCC OnLine Del
8002).
25.
It is submitted that the defendant nos. 61 to 81 are Domain Name
Registrars which have been arrayed for the purpose of blocking access to/

locking/suspending the defendant websites and to disclose information
related to the registrants of the said websites, such as name, address, email
address, mobile number, payment details etc.
26.
It is submitted that the plaintiff has arrayed Google LLC as defendant
no. 82 for the purpose of de-indexing/delisting of the domain names/
websites of such rogue defendant websites from the search results produced
on the search engine, ‘Google’, owned/operated by the defendant no. 82.
27.
It is submitted that the defendant nos. 83 to 91 are Internet Service
Providers which are being arrayed for the limited purpose of blocking/
restricting access to the rogue websites identified in the present suit or any
other website subsequently identified by the plaintiff on affidavit.
28.
It is submitted that the plaintiff has arrayed defendant no. 92,
Department of Telecommunications, and defendant No. 93, Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology for the issuance of a notification to
the internet and telecom service providers to disable access to the defendant
websites identified in the present suit and such other websites subsequently
discovered and identified by the plaintiff to be infringing the rights of the
plaintiff. The defendant no. 94 is ‘Ashok Kumar’. No formal relief is sought
against the defendant nos. 61 to 94.
29.
It is submitted that defendant nos. 1-60 are mostly anonymous
websites. Details of their owners are either hidden or are forged/inaccurate.
These websites are vehicles of infringement and engage in flagrant violation
of the intellectual property rights of the plaintiff. Due to the nature of the
internet, which offers anonymity, these websites in a systematic manner,
engage in violation of the intellectual property rights of the plaintiff. The
websites of defendant nos. 1-60 are predominantly engaged in violating third

party rights.
30.
It is submitted that in view of the aforesaid, the plaintiff has filed the
present suit seeking protection of its exclusive rights under the Act. On
account of being the producer, exclusive licensee and exclusive assignee
having adequate right, and the fact that defendant nos. 1–60 have been
violating the rights of the plaintiff, the plaintiff has established a prima facie
case in its favour. The plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm and injury if
an order of injunction is not passed. The balance of convenience is in favour
of the plaintiff on account of it being the rights-owner and having legitimate
interest which needs protection.
31.
Learned counsel appearing for the plaintiff has drawn the attention of
this Court to the various infringing content which is available on these rogue
sites. The list of the defendant websites, and the corresponding pages of the
documents filed along with the present plaint, is attached as Annexure-A to
the present order.
32.
It is submitted that as the plaintiff’s works enjoy protection as a
‘cinematograph films’ under the Act, the making available and/or
communication to the public of the plaintiff’s works, without their
authorisation, by the defendant websites would amount to a violation of the
plaintiff’s exclusive rights under the Act. The balance of convenience is
clearly against the defendant websites, which do not have authorisation with
respect to the plaintiff’s works, including, inter alia, to host, stream,
reproduce, permit download of/distribute, make available to the public
and/or communicate the plaintiff’s motion pictures, original content
television shows, web-series and other cinematographic works, or facilitate
the same. It is submitted that if the illegal activities of the defendant

websites are not restrained during the pendency of the present proceedings,
plaintiff shall suffer irreparable harm since it is submitted that the defendant
websites intend to continue to exploit the plaintiff’s property with impunity,
thereby, diminishing and diluting the value of the plaintiff’s rights.
33.
Further, it is submitted that this Court in Zee Entertainment
Enterprises Limited versus Jbomma.Bar and Ors. (CS(COMM) 650/2022),
vide order dated 19th September, 2022, had restrained certain rogue websites
therein from communicating, hosting, streaming and/or making available for
viewing and downloading, without authorization on their websites or other
platforms, through the internet in any manner whatsoever, the plaintiff’s
works. Further, vide its order 27th February, 2024, inter alia, directed the
Domain Name Registrars therein to revoke domain name registrations of
such rogue websites and to furnish complete details of such rogue websites.
Further, this Court in Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited versus All
Rounder Tv and Ors., (CS(COMM) 921/2023), vide its order dated 12th
34.
It is submitted that the plaintiff’s entire business depends on the
protection of its invaluable intellectual property and in case the same are
infringed, the entire business model of the plaintiff will be at great risk and
will be adversely affected. The plaintiff has invested huge sums in the
production, promotion, distribution and exploitation of the plaintiff’s works.
January, 2024, guided by the principles laid down in and in furtherance of
the UTV Judgment, restrained third-party mobile applications arrayed as
defendants therein from communicating to the public, hosting, storing,
reproducing, streaming, broadcasting, re-broadcasting, causing, to be seen or
heard by public on payment of charge and/or making available for viewing
the plaintiff’s Works through their websites or apps.

CS(COMM) 937/2024 Page 9 of 27
It is submitted that if the infringement thereof is not prevented, it would
result in threatening the very future and existence of respective original
shows/ television shows/original content since production houses would be
unable to raise funds for future works.
35.
At this stage, learned counsel appearing for defendant no. 82, i.e.,
Google, submits that the address of the Google has been incorrectly
reflected in the Memo of Parties.
36.
Let correct address be provided by learned counsel appearing for
defendant no. 82-Google to the plaintiff.
37.
Amended memo of parties shall be filed within a period of one week
from today.
38.
Learned counsel appearing for defendant no. 82 further submits that at
this stage no directions be given to defendant no. 82 for de-indexing/de-
listing the defendant websites, as the defendant no. 82 being a search engine,
any website which is suspended, is not shown as part of the index published
in the search engine.
39.
He further submits that this may take some time in view of the
technological issues.
40.
In the above circumstances, the plaintiff has demonstrated a prima
facie case for grant of injunction and, in case, no ex parte ad interim
injunction is granted, the plaintiff will suffer an irreparable loss. Further,
balance of convenience also lies in favour of the plaintiff, and against the
defendants.
41.
Accordingly, till the next date of hearing, the following directions are
issued:

Electronics and Information Technology), for issuance of blocking orders
and simultaneously to the Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) for blocking

Annexure
Subject: Action requested to be taken by MEITY and Plantiff for effective removal of
content for viewing by public at large within India as per the said orders of
Hon’ble Court.
It is observed that a number of orders of Hon’ble Court are issued for blocking of
websites every month. There are around more than 2700 ISPs in India and these ISPs
are connected among themselves in a mesh network. DOT is instructing each of the ISPs
through emails/through its website for blocking of the websites as ordered by the Hon’ble
Courts. Ensuring compliance of the orders by each of the ISPs is a time-consuming and
complex task especially in view of multiplicity of orders of Hon’ble Courts, multiplicity of
websites to be blocked and multiplicity of ISPs.
2.
Allocation of Business Rules inter-alia sates thus:-
‘Policy matters relating to information technology; Electronics; and Internet (all
matters other than licensing of Internet Service Provider)’.
3.
In view of above and in order to ensure effective removal by content for viewing
by public at large, the plantiff is requested to do a trace route of the web server hosting
the said website. In case the web server happens to be in India, the plantiff may inform
the same to Meity who may direct the owner of such web server to stop transmission of
content as per IT Act and as directed by the Hon’ble Court so that the content would be
blocked from the source itself and the exercise of blocking by 2700 ISPs would not be
required.
4.
In case such server is located abroad i.e. outside India then access to such
URL/website can be blocked through the international internet gateways which are much
less in number. This would result in timely and effectively removal of undesirable content
for viewing by public at large as is the requirement as per the orders of Hon’ble Court.
