US movie giant 20th Century Fox, which has accused Zee Telefilms of plagiarising its tele-serial "24", Wednesday urged the Delhi High Court to seek "Time Bomb" CDs for a comparative study of the two serials.

Justice Anil Kumar recorded the submission of R.K. Anand, appearing for the Fox Film Corp, and ordered that he would pass an appropriate order on the plea Monday.

Anand submitted that Zee Telefilms is required to produce all the CDs of its serial shot so far to the court to verify whether it had copied the script, storyline and the characterisation of the telefilm "24" as alleged in the lawsuit.

Arguments by counsel for the Fox Film Corp and Zee Telefilms remained inconclusive. It will be taken up for further hearing on Monday.

Earlier Arun Jaitley, former law minister and counsel for Zee Telefilms, submitted that the similarity in presentation techniques in two different films or serials could not be said to be a copyright violation as presentation techniques are borne of advance in technology.

He submitted that e tele-serial produced by his client - "Time Bomb" - is in continuation of its earlier serial produced in 2001 titled "Pradhan Mantri". The new serial had the same artistes and plot as in the earlier serial and dealt with international terrorism, he said.
