Seema Seth was asked by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma to submit the movie's script to support her allegation against the three as per the earlier order.
The court had asked her to produce "cogent and clear evidence to show that accused persons have infringed upon her copyright by producing film Fashion."
The court granted her another opportunity to comply by its order on May 22. "None for complainant. Put up for purpose already fixed on May 22," the court said.
The court had given her the direction, while refusing earlier to order registration of an FIR against Bhandarkar, producer Ronnie Screwala and writer Ajay Mongia on her complaint.
Seth, in her plea, had contended Bhandarkar indulged in "clear-cut violation of the Copyright Act." She has also made Ronnie Screwala of UTV Motion Pictures a party in the case and had sought Rs 2.5 crore as compensation from them.
Seth had sought lodging of an FIR against Bhandarkar and others under "appropriate" sections of the IPC and for violation of the Copyright Act.

In her complaint, she had said the accused have violated her copyright on book by releasing the film in October 2008.
Refusing to order registration of an FIR against them, the court had said that there can be no copyright in an idea, subject matter, themes, plots or historical or legendary facts and violation of the copyright in such cases is confined to the forum, manner and arrangement or expression of the idea by the author of the copyrighted work.
