Overview
- JioStar, which filed its case May 4 with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee, says Zee aired 12 films about 20 times without permission.
- The mediation panel has summoned Zee for May 25 and warned that skipping the session could be treated as a refusal to take part.
- The films cited include Deewaar, Tridev, and Dangal, and JioStar’s 120-page plea labels Zee a habitual infringer.
- Zee denies liability in several instances, says some telecasts were inadvertent, and argues it had production‑house permission for Dangal.
- Sources report JioStar plans to seek damages though the amount is not final, as the rivals also face a $1 billion cricket-rights arbitration and a separate $3 million music suit.
