The Delhi High Court issued a restraining order against a private firm for installing pirated Mirasys video management software at Udyog Bhawan, housing key government ministries including Commerce and Industry. The order came on November 10 following a lawsuit by Mirasys India Private Limited, demanding a ban on unauthorized use of their copyrighted software. Justice Tejas Karia said, “As there is no purchase order of the Mirasys software from the plaintiff, for installing the same at the project site (Udyog Bhawan) and that the software found at the project site was licensed by the plaintiff for a different site, the Mirasys software installed at the project site is prima facie a pirated and unauthorised copy of the Mirasys software.” Mirasys, through senior advocate Swathi Sukumar, revealed that the pirated software had been in use since 2020 without any license or consent. The company first heard of this when Telecommunications Consultants India Limited reported a technical fault. An inspection in May 2025 confirmed illegal use of copies originally licensed for a site in Gurugram. The software was installed by an ex-employee of Mirasys’s former distributor, who had access to sensitive licence data. The court barred the accused and their associates from reproducing or using the software unlawfully. Local commissioners were appointed to inspect and seize related equipment and documents, with police support authorized for enforcement. This order safeguards software copyrights and clamping down on tech piracy within government premises.
