A private firm, which is organising the G20 meetings in Goa, has sent a defamation notice of Rs 25 crore to Mario Gallery that is dedicated to the work of artist Mario de Miranda, reported O Heraldo, a Goa-based newspaper.

On July 7, Mario Gallery sent a legal notice to Sean AdEvent for installing figurines of Miranda’s famous cartoons for G20 without seeking their permission. The event management company sent a counter notice on July 10, claiming the gallery didn’t own rights over Miranda’s work.
