Rohini Publications of Pune has had particulars of its novel entered in the Register of Copyrights following an application. Under the Copyright Act, 1957, who is required to publish the entry, and how?

The Registrar of Copyrights must publish every entry made in the Register, either in the Official Gazette or in any other manner he considers fit. The duty is the Registrar's, not the applicant's, the High Court's or the Registrar of Trade Marks'.

Explanation

Section 50A requires every entry made in the Register to be published by the Registrar of Copyrights in the Official Gazette or in such other manner as he may deem fit. The duty lies on the Registrar, not the applicant. The High Court's role relates to rectification, not publication of entries.
