New Delhi, Jun 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court has clarified that its interim stay order dated April 21, 2025, in the copyright dispute between Phonographic Performance Ltd. (PPL) and Azure Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. is applicable only to the parties involved in the suit pending before the Delhi High Court and does not extend to third parties.
A bench comprising justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Manmohan passed the clarification while allowing an interlocutory application filed by PPL.
The application sought a clarification on the scope of the Supreme Court’s April 21 order, after PPL claimed that several third parties were using the stay order to avoid paying licence fees for playing its copyrighted sound recordings.
