A bench comprising Justice C. Hari Shankar and Justice Om Prakash Shukla heard Rahman’s appeal against a single judge bench order dated April 25, 2025. That order had found prima facie grounds for alleged copyright infringement against Rahman regarding the song. The High Court’s latest ruling overturned this, allowing Rahman to continue without the burden of the earlier order.

Rahman’s legal counsel welcomed the verdict. They said Rahman has always respected copyright laws and emphasised the need for a thorough examination before passing any adverse order. The bench echoed this reasoning, noting that originality disputes require careful scrutiny.

This ruling holds significance for India’s creative and film industry, where copyright cases are increasingly common. The decision may set a precedent in how courts examine allegations of music plagiarism, especially involving high-profile works.

The song ‘Veera Raja Veera’, part of Ponniyin Selvan 2, had gained widespread popularity for its composition and melody. The case had stirred discussions about copyright boundaries in music creation. With this verdict, Rahman not only gains relief in this case but also strengthens his position in the larger debate on artistic originality in India.

Sharma had dragged a 31-year-old technology recruiter into a nursing room on March 1, 2023, where he kissed her forcefully and made repeated sexual advances despite her resistance. The victim had met Sharma for the first time that evening after a colleague shared his profile.

Sharma denied the charges, claiming the woman consented and suggested going to the nursing room. The defence argued the encounter was voluntary but escalated after a remark about her breath. The court rejected this and described Sharma’s actions as “extremely high” in sexual exploitation.

The prosecution sought a sentence of at least four years and six strokes, which was accepted by the court. Sharma faced between two and ten years of imprisonment along with caning. His lawyer had requested a lighter sentence of three to three-and-a-half years with fewer strokes.

Earlier, the Supreme Court ruled in the Tamil Nadu case that Governors cannot keep bills pending indefinitely. The judges said action must be taken within a reasonable period. The new case expands that principle to include the President’s role as well.

The final verdict is expected to clarify the powers of Governors and the President. It may also set guidelines for handling bills in the future. Political circles across the country are watching closely, as the decision could reshape Centre–state relations.

The CBI claims that during his time as Railway Minister, Lalu Prasad arranged jobs in return for land deals. Several plots in Bihar allegedly moved into the names of his family members. Investigators filed multiple cases and charges against Lalu’s relatives and associates after years of inquiry.
