Krrish 3 copyright violation case: SC asks novelist to put forth his c

The Supreme Court has directed a
Dehradun-based novelist to give a
reasonable offer to film director Rakesh
Roshan for settling a case related to alleged
copyright violation in the 2013 Bollywood
blockbuster 'Krrish 3'. Novelist Rupnarayan
Sonkar had filed a police complaint in 2016
accusing Roshan of copyright violation and
claimed that some scenes of the movie were
based on his novel 'Suardaan'.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked
Roshan as to why he does not pay the
amount and finish the case against him in
which charge sheet has been filed. Senior
advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, who is
appearing for Roshan, said that he has not
got any offer for settlement from the
novelist side.
"First let the offer be made from the other
side. If it is reasonable we would certainly
look into it," Jethmalani said.
The bench, also comprising Justices A M
Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, listed the
matter for April 9 to enable the novelist to
furnish a proposal to Roshan's counsel. "We
expect that the respondent No 3 (Sonkar)
shall put forth his claim which would be
reasonable so that the petitioner (Roshan)
can be asked to accept the same," the bench
said.
It, however, clarified that the present order
has been passed without prejudice to the
points raised in the petition. Roshan had
moved the apex court against an
Uttarakhand High Court order of July 20 last
year which dismissed his plea seeking stay
on his arrest in a case of alleged copyright
violation. The high court rejected his plea on
the ground that a charge sheet had already
been filed against him in the case.
Sonkar had claimed that his novel was
published in 2010 and hence, the case was
filed against Roshan. In the charge sheet,
Roshan has been accused of plagiarising
portions of a story written by Sonkar and
using it in 'Krrish 3'.
An FIR was registered at the Dalanwala
police station of Uttarakhand in 2016 on the
complaint of Sonkar, who had accused
Roshan of copyright violation.

OMG... he already copied X-Men characters like Professor X, Magneto, Mytique and toad and if that was not enough, he copied some scenes from a novel as well.

What on earth was original in that movie then ??
