SC sets aside order directing Yash Raj Films to pay compensation for excluding song from 'Fan' movie

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed an appeal filed by Yash Raj Films against an order of the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (NCDRC) which directed the production firm to pay Rs 10,000 along with litigation costs as compensation to a consumer being aggrieved by exclusion of a song in Bollywood movie “Fan”.

A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Aravind Kumar set aside the NCDRC order.

“We have allowed the appeal,” the bench said.
