Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to intervene in the Delhi High Court's ruling that found composer Ilaiyaraaja guilty of copyright infringement over the song 'En Iniya Pon...'.
The Delhi High Court had earlier held that the composer had used the melody without permission.
The Supreme Court's decision means the lower court's judgment stands, leaving Ilaiyaraaja liable for the infringement.
The case, which centered on the rights to the song, had been pending for months and involved a dispute over the original composition.
By declining to alter the outcome, the Supreme Court signals that it will not interfere with the copyright dispute at this stage.
