New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Wednesday directed the central government to provide premises and manpower to the copyright board which is facing problems in its functioning.
A division bench of acting Chief Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Mukta Gupta asked the government to provide infrastructure to the board and file a report on the matter within a week.
The board had filed a petition in court highlighting problems faced by it due to lack of infrastructure.
In the petition, the counsel for the board said that it did not even have a premises or building or a court room.
“The board does not have its own staff and borrows most of its staff on a part-time basis from the copyright office,” said counsel said.
