In a significant development in a long-running copyright dispute, the Delhi High Court has passed an interim order in favour of music label Saregama India Ltd., restraining legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja from broadcasting or communicating songs from 134 films until further orders.

The court noted that these rights cannot be interpreted as ownership over the complete film soundtrack. The dispute arose after S...
