Legal Question in Intellectual Property in India

Dear Sir/Madam,

One of my friend recently came to know that one of the photographer in India have downloaded some of his images and included it in pdf as his wedding photography portfolio. He is forwarding this all his clients. From one of my friend's old client he came to know about this incident. I want to know that in this particular case what type of legal steps my friend can take against that photographer and at the same time what sort of monetary compensation he can seek from him. My friend has written contract with all of his clients for explicit use of his work, so in that whether he can get any additional benefit for this particular case. And what should be maximum punishment that guilty person can get as per copyright, criminal and cyber law in India

Regards,

Sumit Mukherjee
