The Madras High Court has issued a temporary stay on the Enforcement Directorate’s decision to attach the properties of renowned film director S Shankar, valued at Rs 10.11 crore. The move comes in response to accusations of money laundering related to a copyright violation case associated with the movie ‘Enthiran’. The court ruled that the provisional order was uncalled for as there was already a stay on the criminal complaint. This development provides relief to Shankar amidst the legal battle surrounding the copyright infringement allegations. The filmmaker’s legal team welcomed the court’s decision, emphasizing the lack of necessity for the ED’s attachment order. The case has garnered significant attention in the Indian film industry, with stakeholders closely monitoring the proceedings. Stay tuned for further updates on this high-profile copyright dispute as it unfolds in the Indian judiciary system.
