A single Judge of the High Court decides an appeal under Section 72 against a Registrar of Copyrights order for payment of money against Veda Films. Veda Films is dissatisfied with the decision. Which statement is correct?

A further appeal lies to a Bench of the High Court within three months from the single Judge's decision. Section 72(3) expressly allows this where the original appeal was heard by a single Judge.

  1. AA further appeal lies to a Bench of the High Court within three months from the decision of the single JudgeCorrect
  2. BNo further appeal lies as the single Judge's decision is final
  3. CA further appeal lies to the Registrar of Copyrights within thirty days
  4. DA further appeal lies to the Commercial Court within three months

Explanation

Section 72(3) provides that where an appeal is heard by a single Judge, a further appeal lies to a Bench of the High Court within three months from the date of the decision or order of the single Judge. Section 72(2) also lets the Judge refer the appeal to a Bench at any stage, but that does not make the single Judge's decision final.
