Today, On 11th March, The Madras High Court issued a stay on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) move to seize director Shankar’s properties in the Enthiran copyright dispute. The ED took action based on a 2011 complaint by writer Arur Tamilnadan, who claimed that Shankar had copied his story Jiguba for the blockbuster film. Shankar has consistently denied the allegations, stating that Enthiran was his original creation. With the court’s stay order, the legal battle over the film’s copyright continues.
Supreme Court temporarily suspends actress Jayaprada’s sentence in ESIC case, granting her interim bail pending appeal. Jayaprada and her brothers face allegations related to failure to remit ESI deductions to the corporation from their bankrupt cinema. The decision follows a series of legal proceedings, including a denial of suspension of sentence by the Delhi High Court.
