Sir, first of all I congratulate you for the fabulous photograph. I condemn the Govt for violating copyright of an artist. Sir, why dont you take action for infringement ?

Well. It certainly amounts to infringement of your rights.  You may sue the department for copyright violation.  You may contact an advocate in this regard.

Mr. subir..here it is a blantant violation of your copyright. AND  Yes, you can bring an infringement action against the department of information and public relation, uttarakhand because here your case falls under section 51(a)(i) & (b)(iii) of the copyright act. There are many legal  intricasies involved in filing the suit, such as instituting a suit by presentation of the plaint under ss. 26 and order 4. rule 1 of the civil procedure code, and other provisions of the civil procedure code and copyright act. But you are entitled to seek damages under section 57 of the copyright act. Therefore, it is preferable that you should consult any good Law firm or advocate dealing with the intellectual property rights.

in my personal opinion 'Singh & Associates', N-30 Malviya Nagar, New Delhi can help you out in resolving your problem regarding copyright dispute.  

Dear Mr. Reddy , with regard to your advice to Mr. Subir, i would like to mention section 2(1)(zb) of trade marks act,1999 which emphasizes on the use of the mark which distinguishes goods and services of one person from other and in the instant case, the photograph would come under section 2(c)(i) of the copyright act,1957 under artistic work.  Thus, in my honest opinion,  he can institute a suit for copyright infringement and not infringement of Trademark.

Its a simple case of Copyright violation and not that of trademark and you can file a suit for the copyright infringement.
