Delhi High Court Orders Restraint in Software Piracy Case at Udyog Bhawan

New Delhi – December 17, 2025 – The Delhi High Court has issued a restraining order against a private firm accused of installing pirated video management software at Udyog Bhawan, the building complex housing the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry, among other key government bodies. The order, issued on November 10th, follows a suit filed by Mirasys India Private Limited, a technology company, alleging unauthorized use of its registered trademark and copyrighted software.

According to the court’s findings, the software found at Udyog Bhawan was a pirated copy, licensed to Mirasys for a different site. Justice Tejas Karia, in his ruling, stated that “the Mirasys software installed at the project site is prima facie a pirated and unauthorised copy of the Mirasys software.”

Mirasys alleges the pirated software had been in use since 2020. The company became aware of the issue following a malfunction complaint made by Telecommunications Consultants India Limited. An inspection in May 2025 confirmed the unauthorized use. Further investigation revealed that the software, originally licensed for a location in Gurugram, had been illegally copied and installed at Udyog Bhawan without Mirasys’s consent. The company claims an ex-employee of Mirasys’s former distributor, with access to license numbers and encrypted files, was responsible for the installation.

The court order restrains the defendants, their directors, employees, and agents from reproducing, copying, installing, distributing, or using any unlicensed copies of the Mirasys software. Furthermore, the court has appointed local commissioners with the authority to inspect the defendants’ premises, seize relevant computer systems and documents, and seek police assistance if necessary. This includes breaking locks if access to the premises is denied.
