Delhi High Court Grants Star India “Superlative Injunction” to Block Infringing Apps in Real-Time

The Delhi High Court has granted a "superlative injunction" to Star India, empowering it to block rogue mobile apps in real time, in addition to infringing websites. 

This goes beyond the usual dynamic injunctions and aims to curb unauthorized streaming of its content, such as IPL matches. 

Justice Saurabh Banerjee emphasized that in the digital age, delays in legal action can render remedies ineffective.  The court directed domain registrars and internet service providers to suspend access to infringing domains and apps upon notification by Star India.  

This injunction remains effective until July 3, 2025.
