Indian news agency ANI's appeal against a Delhi High Court single judge's order rejecting its request for interim relief against OpenAI is scheduled to come up before a Division Bench on September 14, 2026. The appeal was first listed on September 8 before a bench headed by Justice V. Kameswar Rao, but the bench did not assemble; Justice Rao has since been appointed Chief Justice of the Patna High Court, and the matter was rescheduled to September 14. The underlying dispute stems from ANI's copyright infringement suit against OpenAI, in which the news agency alleged that the ChatGPT maker used its news reports and other original content to train its model without a license. The single judge declined to grant ANI an interim injunction, holding that OpenAI's storage of ANI's copyrighted works during training did not by itself amount to infringement under the Copyright Act, 1957, and that such use was prima facie covered by the Act's Section 52 exception. ANI is appealing that finding to the Division Bench. Indian legal commentary has described the case as one of the first major tests of whether AI companies can train models on copyrighted Indian news content without a licensing agreement, and its outcome is expected to inform how Indian courts approach similar disputes involving other publishers and AI developers.
