London, Aug 05: American novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford today expressed unhappiness over Supreme Court's decision to reject her appeal against the Sahara TV series, Karishma - Miracle of Destiny. But she would not take any further action in the matter.
"Not even a blatant admission of guilt by the show's producer/director was enough to sway the judicial system in India," she said in a statement here.
She believed that her case of copyright infringement was "significant and based on substantial evidence, most of which was not properly considered." Bradford was absolved by the Supreme Court of any penalties, as handed down by the appeal court on July 21.
She was also given the option of seeking a prolonged trial in the Indian legal system, should she wish to continue. "However, based on the treatment received in the Indian court system to date, Mrs Bradford will take this matter no further," the statement issued by her press office said.
