The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday cleared the way for continuation of screening of Hindi movie Maidaan by staying the temporary injunction granted by a Mysuru civil court against the screening of the movie in any language in any form, including electronic, magnetic and over-the-top (OTT) media platform.
Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar passed the interim order on a petition filed by Boney Kapoor of Bayview Projects Private Limited, Mumbai, who is a co-producer of the movie along with Zee Studios Ltd.
On April 8, the Mysuru court had issued the ex parte temporary injunction against screening of the movie on a suit filed by scriptwriter C.R. Anil Kumar of Mysuru, who had alleged copyright violation by the producers of Maidaan.
