Zee Entertainment filed a 1,800‑page lawsuit in New Delhi on April 14 alleging $3 million damages for copyright infringement by Reliance‑Disney JV.
Zee claims the joint venture used its music at least 50 times after licensing agreements expired in 2024 and 2025, without renewal.
The dispute follows a parallel London arbitration where Reliance seeks $1 billion from Zee over a 2024 cricket‑licensing withdrawal.
Zee’s shares rose 4.36% while DIS and RELI moved +6.67% and –1.76% respectively after the news.
