Allowing an appeal in Krishika Lulla & Ors v Shyam Vithalrao Devkatta & Anr, the Supreme Court held that there is no copyright in the title of a literary work and a plaintiff can obtain relief only on the basis of an action for passing off or for infringement in respect of a registered trademark that comprises the title.
