MUMBAI: Earlier this week, it was reported that the Iranian band Barobax Corp sent a legal notice to Agent Vinod’s music director Pritam and distributor Eros International citing copyright infringement of one of their numbers.

The band had claimed that the initial portion of the film‘s song Pungi was lifted without changes from the band‘s popular number Soosan Khanoom composed way back in 2010 that was registered on 30 June under the Copyright Act in Canada.

On Wednesday, they moved the Bombay High Court seeking a stay on Agent Vinod’s release, along with a restraining order from using the track in the film.

However on Thursday, the case was heard and dismissed, with the film opening on Friday as planned. The cause for this dismissal of the case was that the band failed to appear in person and the similarity between the two tracks was marginal.
