Jasleen Royal is a renowned singer and composer in the Indian music industry. The singer has filed a lawsuit in the Bombay High Court to protect her copyright. The lawsuit names T-Series, Raj Ranjodh, and Guru Randhawa (collectively referred to as “the Defendants”) for unauthorized use of her musical works in the song titled ‘All Right.’ The song is part of Royal’s album ‘G Thing.’
Jasleen Royal created the original musical compositions in March 2022. This was created as a potential track for the promotional events for the film “Runway 34.” These compositions were shared with lyricist, Raj Ranjodh over audio-video calls and messages. While Guru Randhawa was considered for vocals, the scratch recorded by Guru was unsatisfactory to Jasleen. This lead to the collaboration to ultimately fall through, and Jasleen Royal retained all rights to the music.
In December 2023, Jasleen Royal discovered that the song “All Right,” released by T-Series and featuring vocals by Guru Randhawa embodying her work without her permission, and any credit being given to her.
Jasleen Royal has taken decisive action to protect her intellectual property. She was represented by entertainment law firm, Khimani & Associates, including being advised by Priyanka Khimani. The lawsuit asserts copyright infringement and violation of moral rights. Jasleen Royal’s attorneys have successfully secured an interim order from the Court. It requires T-Series to remove the song from all streaming platforms. The list includes YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, Hungama Music, Jio Saavn, Facebook, Gaana.com, Wink Music, Mauj, Josh, and ShareChat. Additionally, Raj Ranjodh and Guru Randhawa are prohibited from exploiting the song in any manner. The Court has further stipulated that any future use of the song by the Defendants requires providing Jasleen Royal with two weeks’ prior notice.
