# Bombay HC restrains Sanjay Dutt’s nightclub from playing songs 2026-08-13T12:00:04+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bombay High Court has restrained Ballr, a Pune nightclub co-owned by actor Sanjay Dutt, from playing copyrighted songs without a licence. The order came after Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) complained that the venue was playing tracks such as 'Badtameez Dil', 'Mauja Hi Mauja' and Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' without authorisation. PPL said Ballr's licence had expired and was not renewed. The court granted interim relief to PPL on August 7, barring the club from using PPL's sound recordings until a valid licence is obtained. PPL's advocate said the order sends a clear legal message. ## Coverage - bollywoodhungama.com Tags: Bombay High Court, copyright, music licence, nightclub, PPL, Sanjay Dutt Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bombay-hc-restrains-sanjay-dutts-nightclub-from-playing-songs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
