New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday allowed an appeal filed by Yash Raj Films challenging an order passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), directing the production house to compensate Rs 10,000 plus litigation costs to a consumer aggrieved by the absence of the song “Jabra Fan” in the Shahrukh Khan-starrer “Fan”.
A bench led by Justice P S Narasimha said the court answered the questions of whether a 'teaser', which is circulated prior to the release of a movie, would create a contractual obligation and whether it was an unfair trade practice not to show the contents of the promotional trailer in the movie. Detailed judgment on the matter will be uploaded later in the day. The apex court passed the verdict on a plea filed by Yash Raj Films.
