Chennai, Oct 13 (PTI) The Madras High Court todaydismissed an appeal against a single judge order allowingrelease of the Tamil movie "Mersal", starring Vijay, onOctober 18.
The single judge had earlier restrained the producersof the movie from using the word "Mersal" in its title on acivil suit filed last month.
The suit was filed by A Rajendran of 'Film Factori'who submitted that he had commenced production of his movie"Mersalaitan" in August last year, but was shocked to notethat there was another film titled "Mersal".
Dismissing the original application arising out of thesuit on October 6, Justice Anitha Sumanth had vacated theinterim injunction and held that the entire case of theapplicant was based on the premise of probabilities andassumptions to clear the decks for the movie's release.
Rajendran moved the court against the order.
When the appeal came up, a division bench, comprisingJustice Rajiv Shakder and Justice N Sathishkumar, said"... There is no error of law of fact in the impugned order ofthe single judge.""The appellant court, if at all, can interfere on aprinciple of law and not because it may have a different viewof the matter. For all these reasons, we find no merit in theappeal and dismiss the same," it said. PTI COR BNKIS.
