Ram
Charan
Teja's
latest
outing
Toofan
and
its
Hindi
version
Zanjeer
have
cleared
from
all
legal
problems
on
September
2,
2013.
The
Bombay
High
Court
has
dismissed
the
application
of
Salman
Khan's
father
Salim
and
Javed
Akhtar,
who
were
seeking
interim
injunction
on
the
release
of
director
Apoorva
Lakhia's
Zanjeer
remake
starring
Priyanka
Chopra
in
the
female
lead.

After
hearing
the
case,
the
Bombay
High
Court
held
that
Salim-Javed
had
approached
the
court
with
an
incorrect
case,
twisted
their
case
in
the
course
of
hearing,
belied
their
initial
story
pleaded
in
their
plaint
and
failing
to
substantiate
their
incorrect
case
attempted
to
procure
certain
affidavits
and
letters
which
the
court
refused
to
give
credence
to.
Salim
Khan
has
made
incorrect
statements
before
the
court
and
has
given
explanations
on
oath
before
the
court
which
on
the
face
of
it
is
incorrect.
The
court
has
opined
that,
prima
facie
it
is
Shri
Prakash
Mehra
who
was
the
owner
of
the
copyright
in
the
underlying
literary
work
of
the
original
film
Zanjeer
and
not
Salim-Javed
as
contended.
The
court
has
also
importantly
observed
that,
even
if
the
court
had
reached
a
conclusion
in
favour
of
Salim-Javed
holding
copyright,
as
alleged,
Salim-Javed
would
still
not
be
entitled
to
any
reliefs
sought
by
them
on
ground
of
their
deliberate
delay
in
initiating
the
aforesaid
legal
action.
In
fact,
the
Court
has
categorically
concluded
that
they
were
certainly
guilty
of
delay
on
their
own
part
in
approaching
the
court.
The
court
has
also
observed
that
acceptance
of
Salim-Javed's
case
of
mandatory
injunction
in
the
facts
and
circumstances
would
be
totally
unfair
to
the
producers,
as
from
day
one
up
to
the
completion
of
the
shooting
Salim-Javed
have
repeatedly
claimed
money
for
their
alleged
case
of
copyright
infringement
hence
disentitling
them
of
any
injunctive
relief.
The
court
has
observed
that
the
balance
of
convenience
lies
in
favour
of
the
defendants
requiring
rejection
of
the
reliefs
sought
by
Salim-Javed.
