Copy Rights Act r/w Sections 319(2), 318(4) of BNS Act and Section 29 of Trade Mark and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958, in Crime No.434 of 2025, on the file of the respondent Police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner is alleged to be a manufacturer of counterfeit products using the brand name "DIXCY SCOT".
