Ahmedabad: Kinjal Dave summoned over copyright violation

Ahmedabad | Wednesday | 25th September, 2019

Summary:

A city civil court in Ahmedabad has sought a reply from popular Gujarati singer Kinjal Dave over a copyright violation case for her immensely famous song 'Chaar-Chaar Bangadi Wali Gadi Laidu'. It was also submitted before the court that Dave has not given any credit to the original creator of the song and uploaded it on December 20, 2016, thereby infringing on Patel's copyright on the song. Notably, the case was earlier heard by a commercial court in Ahmedabad which had restrained her from using the song in live shows, concerts, as well as for online downloads. Dave, however, moved the high court against the commercial court's order, which stayed the lower court's order. In the meantime, Dave also questioned the jurisdiction of the commercial court in dealing with the case and eventually, the case was transferred to the City Civil Court..
