[icernet] US firms drag NDTV & Zee to court on TV serial

[Arul Selvan MIC]

US based entertainment companies TIYL Productions California Ltd and
Ralph Edwards Productions have filed a suit against New Delhi Television
Ltd (NDTV) and Zee Telefilms Ltd claiming that the TV serial 'Jeena Isi
Ka Naam Hai' is a derivative of their popular programme 'This is your life'.

The programme 'This is your life', one of the most popular programmes in
the US, began on radio in 1948 and crossed over to TV in 1952. In the
UK, it has been aired continuously for the last 47 years. On the other
hand, Zee has already telecast 35 episodes of NDTV's 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam
Hai'.
