―1. Mr. Vikas Singh, learned senior counsel, who appears on behalf of the appellant, on instructions, says that the statement made on behalf of respondent no. 3, on 23.06.2021, that the subject film, i.e. ―Nyay: The Justice‖ [hereafter referred to as the ―subject film‖] has been released, is not correct. 1.1. Mr. Singh says that the subsequent order, i.e., order dated 25.06.2021 would show that an impression was given, to the predecessor bench, that the duration of the film was 2 hours and 23 minutes, as appearing on http://lapalaporiginal.com/ [hereafter referred to as the "subject OTT platform"]. 1.2. It is Mr. Singh's submission that if one were to visit the subject OTT platform, it would be revealed that, with "gaps", the duration of the subject film stands increased to 2 hours 41 minutes. Therefore, in sum, it is Mr. Singh's submission that the subject film has not been released, for public viewing, as was sought to be portrayed, by respondent no. 3, in particular, as noticed hereinabove, on account of gaps. 2. On the other hand, Mr. Chander M. Lall, learned senior counsel, who appears on behalf of respondent no. 3, says that the content of the subject film has not changed, from the date it was released, on the subject OTT platform, i.e., 11.06.2021. 2.1. It is Mr. Lall's submission that although, at the given point of time, gaps were incorporated, whereby, the duration of the subject film, stood increased to 2 hours 41 minutes, the content has not changed. 2.2. It is also Mr. Lall's submission, that the duration of the subject film, as recorded in the order dated 25.06.2021, i.e. 2 hours and 23 minutes, is, in fact, a typographical error. The duration of the subject film, according to Mr. Lall, was 2 hours 32 minutes, even at that juncture, which, with the gaps, stood increased to 2 hours 41 minutes. 3. We are informed that gaps were inserted, at a particular juncture, to merge advertisements, with the contents of the subject film. Mr. Lall also informs us that some advertisements were, indeed, incorporated. 4. At this stage, Mr. Singh points out that first 9 minutes of the subject film, as appearing on the subject OTT platform, are blank. Signature Not Verified 5. We may also point out that Mr. Lall has taken instructions, in the matter, and he says that, presently, the gaps have been Signed By:KAMLA CS(COMM) RAWAT Signing Date:12.07.2023 10:10:24 187/2021 Page 4 of 68
