 "SC overturns HC order on STAR India digital rights case")
The Supreme Court has overturned an order by the Delhi High Court (issued in September not in favour of STAR) in the mobile and digital rights case that STAR India had filed in January this year and has asked the parties to maintain status quo as of the March 13 order passed by the single-judge bench of the high court in favour of STAR.
The broadcaster had moved the Delhi High Court earlier this year against telecom and digital players (Idea Cellular, Akuate Internet and OnMobile Global) who gave out contemporaneous information (ball-by-ball updates) of international matches (organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India) played in India.
STAR India had argued that since it has paid for the exclusive media rights of BCCI matches, others should not be allowed to disseminate contemporaneous information since it interferes with Star's prospects of monetising it.
