Delhi High Court has summoned news agency Press Trust of India in a copyright infringement and plagiarism case filed by Asian News International in connection with the videos of a Delhi-Darbhanga Spicejet flight’s air conditioner breakdown, Bar and Bench reported.
The ANI has sought damages of Rs 2 crore, alleging that the PTI “copied” its videos of passengers suffering in the flight on the runway for nearly an hour on June 19, as the air conditioning stopped working amid a heatwave. The news agency also demanded a permanent injunction restraining PTI from copying its original work.
