The Court recorded that more than 120 days have passed after publication of the notices and that there was no objection raised by any person.
Hence, it determined the petition could be allowed, subject to the petitioner abiding by his undertaking that he would secure the royalty payable to the right owner, if any, by depositing the royalty with the High Court.
Accordingly, the Court allowed the petition.
“In the present case, as noted hereinabove, since none has come forward to raise objections in response to the notices published as regards licence for translation sought by the petitioner and more than 120 days have elapsed from the dates of publication of such notices, this Court is convinced that the petition can be allowed by directing the petitioner to abide by the undertakings given in the above quoted paragraphs 4E and F of the petition. It is specifically recorded that the petitioner undertakes to deposit the Royalty in this Court, if and when any person raises a claim in that regard,” the Court stated.
