PPL India Wins Injunction Against Star Health
PPL India, which manages music copyrights, went to court against Star Health, an insurance company.
PPL India said Star Health played their music at an event without permission.
The court agreed and told Star Health to stop playing PPL India's music without a proper license.
The court also noted that Star Health had gotten licenses from PPL India before, which showed they knew they needed permission.
PPL India showed videos and documents proving Star Health was playing their music without a license.
The court decided to temporarily stop Star Health from using PPL India's music until they sort out the license issue.
The next hearing is scheduled for January 12, 2026.
PPL India secured an injunction against Star Health for unauthorized public performance of sound recordings.
The Bombay High Court granted the injunction in December 2025, with the next hearing scheduled for January 12, 2026.
Star Health had previously obtained public performance licenses from PPL India for past events.
The court viewed the previous license as an admission of PPL India's copyright ownership.
PPL India presented documentary and video evidence of unauthorized use of their sound recordings.
