Delhi High Court has ordered him to deposit Rs.20 Lakhs in the ongoing copyright infringement case.
In his recent production release, Bachelor Party, makers used popular songs ‘Nyaya Ellidu’ and ‘Omme Nehe…’at apt situations. An audio label MRT Music Company has moved to High Court claiming copyright infringement on part of the makers. Rakshit Shetty has applied for anticipatory bail in this case, already.
When asked he stated that his audio label company. Paramvah Music, will answer about their position in the Court. Now, HC has ordered Rakshit Shetty to deposit Rs.20 Lakhs in this case, immediately.
