This was the rare case in which the original creator tried suing the "inspired". Read below how it ended:
1) Link : "Pritam's "Pungi" song from Saif Ali Khan's starrer "Agent Vinod" is courting controversy. Iranian pop band Barobax Corp has sent a legal notice to Pritam, Eros, T-Series and Illuminati Films for allegedly copying from its 2010 number — "Soosan khanoom"."
2) Link : "Mid-April, 2012, Barobax withdrew their claim of infringement and issued an apology to Pritam Chakraborty. Reading between the lines of reports from the Indian press, it appears Barobax may have been intimidated into withdrawing and apologizing. Barobax is reported to have declared: "We do not want to get into any further legal issue and so we are withdrawing the case as we know that Mr. Pritam's lawyer is an expert in copyright laws and there will be strong criminal action otherwise made out against us..." Happily, in the U.S. such a retraction would be unheard of in these circumstances."
