Bombay High Court Denies Stay on Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Release Amid Copyright DisputePreviousNext

The Bombay High Court declined Puja Entertainment's urgent plea to stay the release of the film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai amid a copyright dispute over the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai. Justice Farhan P. Dubash noted ongoing related litigation in Bihar and questioned the plaintiff's procedural approach. The court did not grant immediate relief, allowing the film to release on June 5, while the legal battle involving Tips Industries and filmmaker David Dhawan continues.
