Delhi court rules Saregama owns rights to song used in 'Aghathiyaa,' rejecting composer's claim.

The Delhi High Court has ruled that Saregama India Limited owns the copyright for the song "En Iniya Pon Nilave." The company can collect a Rs 30 lakh license fee from Vels Film International, which used the song in the film 'Aghathiyaa' without proper permission. The court rejected Ilaiyaraja's claim to assign rights, stating that Saregama's ownership stems from an agreement with the 'Moodu Pani' producer in 1980.
