Kantara Movie: Kerala HC Dismisses Petitions Challenging Restraint Orders Against “Varaharoopam” Song; Allows Hombale Films To Avail Alternative Remedies

Case: Hombale Films LLP v. The Mathrubhumi Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd. & Ors.

Coram: Justice C.S. Dias

Case No.: OP(C) NO. 2281 OF 2022

Court Observation: “The supervisory jurisdiction of this Court is not to be exercised to inter-meddle with every ad-interim order passed by the subordinate courts. If that is the case, the Courts of original jurisdiction and appellate Courts will become defunct, and this Court will be flooded with such litigation, unsettling and dislodging the legislative framework laid down under the Code”

“It is not for this Court to examine each and every contention raised in the original petition, that too at the ad-interim stage, and rule upon their worthiness and correctness. If this Court carries out such an exercise, it will foreclose the statutory rights of the parties and will undoubtedly cause grave prejudice to them”
