Legal Strategy Moving Forward
Despite the favorable monetary award, Pritish Nandy Communications has expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the court's decision. The company's primary concern centers on the limited scope of the decree, which only holds one of the two defendants liable for the payment.
The entertainment company plans to challenge the current order on specific grounds:

- Mrs Rita Rahul Rawail (Defendant No. 2) has been exonerated from liability
- Pritish Nandy Communications seeks joint and several recovery from both defendants
Background of the Dispute
The commercial recovery suit originated in 2005 when Pritish Nandy Communications filed the case seeking recovery of ₹1.50 crores from both Saboo Films Pvt Limited and Mrs Rita Rahul Rawail. The case has been in the legal system for twenty years, during which interest has accumulated to nearly ₹97.30 lakhs.
Next Steps
By challenging the current court order, Pritish Nandy Communications aims to expand the liability to include both defendants jointly and severally. This legal strategy would potentially provide the company with multiple avenues for recovery and strengthen its position in collecting the awarded amount. The company's decision to pursue an appeal demonstrates its commitment to securing full accountability from all parties involved in the original dispute.
