The appellants had also demanded a pre-screening of the series to find out if there was anything prejudicial to their interest.
However, the judge refused to entertain this request as well, since the makers of the web series did not claim to have made either a documentary or narration of true facts.
“The right to the Appellants to have pre-screening of a fictional work belonging exclusively to the Respondent is indeed untenable. In the event the Appellant is in any manner aggrieved by the web series or feels defamed etc, after it is aired the Appellants have their remedies in law to seek damages etc.,” the Court observed, before dismissing their appeal.
