Court cases take longer than usual. Sometimes the case takes so long that it loses relevance and there is nothing to be affected no matter what the verdict comes out to be.
This is precisely the case of Mehul Choksi vs Netflix. Their legal tussle for a documentary called “Bad Boy Billionaires: India”. It is an anthology documentary series that talks about the infamous cases of scams and fraud. It has three episodes and it covers the story of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Subrata Roy.
In the episode titled “Diamonds Aren’t Forever”, the episode talked about the infamous scam that shocked the entire nation. When the documentary came in 2020, it created some buzz and it had already reached the audience base it wanted to reach.
There is nothing left to fight over it but court functions in their own typical way.
The Delhi High Court is dealing with a case involving Mehul Choksi and the Netflix series ‘Bad Boy Billionaires’. Choksi wants the court to let him check the series before it’s shown, saying he’s wrongly accused in it and deserves a fair trial. But the court said he can’t use a certain legal route for his request. Choksi didn’t put down the needed money for the case, which the court wasn’t happy about. The court also mentioned that Choksi isn’t living in India and has other legal issues here. Netflix argued that the internet isn’t something courts can control and suggested Choksi take a different legal path. The court said Choksi might have trouble paying any costs if he loses the case.
Although it doesn’t really matter Netflix has the upper hand and the issue is going to be sorted soon.
