Delhi High Court Refuses To Stay Netflix Release Of 'Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper' Show On ICAI's Plea.
The Delhi High Court has refused to impose an interim stay on the release of Netflix series Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper, saying it appeared to be in the genre of comedy and cannot be perceived as derogatory to the profession of chartered accountancy.
The high court issued notice to Netflix and others on a plea by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and four Chartered Accountants (CA) contending that depiction of the profession in such a "scandalous" manner is bound to defame the profession and the toppers in the examination that is conducted by the institute.
After watching the trailer for the web series, Justice Navin Chawla said he does not find any prima facie case in favour of the plaintiffs for the grant of an ad-interim injunction in their favour at this stage.
“In my prima facie view, I do not find the trailer to be referring to the profession of Chartered Accountancy in any manner. It is a series that appears to be more in the genre of comedy and merely describes the main character as a topper in the Chartered Accountancy examination.
