In its interim injunction application before the single-judge, the agency had sought directions to OpenAI to stop storing, publishing, reproducing or using ANI's copyrighted works.
Several other publications had also joined ANI in its case, including the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA).
The DNPA members include The Times Group, Hindustan Times, India Today Group, The Hindu and almost every major media house.
In his ruling, single-judge Justice Amit Bansal held that OpenAI's storage of news material published by ANI to train ChatGPT does not amount to copyright infringement.
Notably, the single-judge said that irreparable injury would be caused not only to OpenAI but to public interest also if any interim injunction is granted in favour of ANI at this stage.

The judge reasoned that ChatGPT has transformed information and is being used all around the world for beneficial purposes.
ANI has now approached the division bench against the same.
