Jasleen Royal Sues Guru Randhawa and T-Series for Copyright Infringement

Jasleen Royal has initiated legal action against T-Series, lyricist Raj Ranjodh, and singer Guru Randhawa in the Bombay High Court, claiming copyright infringement regarding her original music compositions. These compositions were created in 2022 for a potential track associated with the promotional events of the film 'Runway 34.' Jasleen shared her work with Raj Ranjodh through audio-video calls and messages, which were later used in a scratch version of the song 'All Right.' Despite her initial collaboration with Guru Randhawa, Jasleen found the scratch recording unsatisfactory, leading to a breakdown in their partnership. She asserts that she retained all rights to her music, which she believes were unlawfully utilized in the final version of the song. The lawsuit emphasizes the unauthorized use of her musical works and a violation of her moral rights as an artist. In response to the lawsuit, Jasleen's legal team has successfully obtained an interim order from the court. This order mandates that T-Series remove the song 'All Right' from all streaming platforms, effectively halting its distribution. Furthermore, Raj Ranjodh and Guru Randhawa are prohibited from exploiting the song in any capacity, ensuring that Jasleen's intellectual property rights are upheld. This legal action highlights the ongoing challenges artists face in protecting their creative works in the music industry. Jasleen's decision to pursue this lawsuit underscores her commitment to safeguarding her artistic contributions and serves as a reminder of the importance of copyright in the creative sector.
