MUMBAI: Delhi High Court, hearing the Time Bomb case, has today issued notice to producer-director Ketan Mehta, wife Deepa Sahi and their company Maya Movies for alleged violation of copyrights.
 

Rupert Murdoch-controlled Twentieth Century Fox had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court alleging that Time Bomb, which is now being telecast on Zee Television channel, is a plagiarised version of its ongoing thriller 24. Today, justice Anil Kumar issued the notice on an application by the 20th Century Fox seeking impleadment of the respondent in the case.

Mehta, present in the court room, accepted his notice while the other respondents will be served with notices for replies. The respondents are asked to file replies by 18 July.
 
 

Last week, Zee Telefilms had defended its action by telling the court that, presentation and format styles can't be copyrighted.
