Under the Copyright Act, 1957, the Copyright Office established for the purposes of the Act functions under whose immediate control?
The Copyright Office is under the immediate control of the Registrar of Copyrights. The Registrar acts under the superintendence and direction of the Central Government, so day-to-day control lies with the Registrar, not with the Government directly or with a copyright society.
- AThe Registrar of CopyrightsCorrect
- BThe Central Government directly, without any Registrar
- CA registered copyright society
- DThe Appellate Board
Explanation
Section 9 provides that the Copyright Office is under the immediate control of the Registrar of Copyrights, who acts under the superintendence and direction of the Central Government. The Central Government has superintendence, not immediate control, so option 2 is wrong.
