Supreme Court closes plea over ‘Ghooskhor Pandat’ after filmmaker drops name

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a legal petition concerning the title 'Ghooskhor Pandat' after filmmaker Neeraj Pandey confirmed that he would not use the name for his upcoming movie. In an affidavit submitted to the court, Pandey assured that the new title would not resemble or evoke the withdrawn name, alleviating concerns raised by the petitioners. This decision emphasizes the court's role in addressing intellectual property disputes in the film industry while also highlighting the sensitivities involved in naming films. The case drew attention to the broader implications of title selection within the competitive landscape of Indian cinema, where originality and cultural sensitivity are paramount. With the matter resolved, Neeraj Pandey can proceed with his project without the shadow of legal contention over the film's title.
