Mohd Haroon Trading And Proprieties v.M/S Burhanpur Jalebi Centre
This matter originated from a civil suit filed by M/S Burhanpur Jalebi Centre seeking an injunction against Mohd Haroon Trading And Proprieties for trademark infringement. The petitioner challenged the trial court's rejection of their application regarding mandatory pre-litigation mediation proceedings. However, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ultimately dismissed the petition, ruling that it lacked jurisdiction because the impugned order was passed by a Civil Judge below the rank of a District Judge, necessitating an appeal to the appropriate Commercial Appellate Court.
Dileep Bakliwal Prop Poonam Marketing v.Mohan Singh Panwar
This petition challenged the rejection of a request to transfer a trademark infringement suit to the Commercial Court. The petitioner argued that since the dispute involved intellectual property, it should automatically fall under the jurisdiction of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, regardless of the low valuation. However, the High Court ruled that while IP rights are covered by the Act, the requirement for a 'commercial dispute' to have a specified value of at least Rs. 3 lakhs must be met. Since the suit was valued below this threshold, the court upheld the trial court's decision and dismissed the petition.
Pernod Ricard India Private Limited v.Karanveer Singh Chhabra Trading As J.K.
Pernod Ricard appealed a Commercial Court order that rejected their application for temporary injunction against Karanveer Singh Chhabra, alleging trademark infringement of 'Blenders Pride' and 'Imperial Blue' by the defendant's use of 'London Pride'. The Madhya Pradesh High Court upheld the trial court's finding that no deceptive similarity existed between the marks. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, but the Trial Court was directed to proceed with the main suit on merits without being influenced by the appellate observations.
Aasik Jindran v.Mohammad Rafiq
Aasik Jindran, proprietor of M/s GBL Agro Equipments, filed a petition challenging an earlier commercial court order. The dispute centered on the use of the brand name 'GBL' for agricultural goods by Mohammad Rafiq, which Jindran claimed infringed his registered trademarks and copyrights. While the trial court had granted injunction against 'GBL', Jindran sought an extension to include restraint against the similar mark 'SGBL'.
Bhama Enterprises India Pvt. Ltd. v.Praveen S/o. Shri Gokulchand Murarka
Bhama Enterprises challenged an order granting a temporary injunction to Praveen (M/s. Modware India) regarding the alleged infringement of their 'Kool Kruizer' bottle design by the defendant's 'Cool Crazy' product. The core dispute centered on whether trademark protection in Class 32 could cover the physical shape, or if the defendant's valid registration under the Designs Act provided superior rights. The High Court ultimately allowed the appeal, setting aside the injunction and dismissing the plaintiff's application.
M/S Mold Tech Packaging Limited v.S.D. Container Proprietor Patwari
The appeal was filed by M/S Mold Tech Packaging Limited against an order rejecting its application for a temporary injunction. The plaintiff claimed that the respondent was pirating and infringing their registered designs of containers and lids. However, the court dismissed the appeal, finding that the plaintiff's designs were not new or original as they had been in use globally prior to registration.
Narendra Singh v.Ashendra Mishra
Narendra Singh filed an application seeking the appointment of an independent arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, against Ashendra Mishra regarding disputes arising from their partnership firm, M/s. Kautilya Academy. The applicant alleged misuse of the trade mark and siphoning of funds by the respondents. However, the court dismissed the application, holding that since there were serious allegations of forgery, fraud, and dispute over the very execution of the partnership deed, the matter was not fit for arbitration. The proper remedy was directed to be sought in a civil court.
Skol Breweries Ltd. v.Som Distilleries And Breweries Ltd.
This appeal was filed by Skol Breweries Ltd. (now Sab Miller) seeking a temporary injunction against Som Distilleries And Breweries Ltd., alleging that the latter was using bottles bearing the appellant's registered design for their product, 'BLACK FORT.' The plaintiff claimed this constituted infringement and passing off of its beer, 'HAYWARDS 5000.' However, the High Court dismissed the appeal, finding no substance in the request for an injunction at that stage.
Rajnarayan Dwivedi v.Girish
The petitioner challenged a trial court order that affirmed an injunction granted in favor of the respondents/plaintiffs. The dispute centered on the similarity between the respondents' brands ('Rashtriya Khajuraho Griha Udyog' and 'Calash Chhap Tobacco - Lalluwali') and the petitioner's brand ('Rashtrapriya Khajuraho Tambakhu Griha Udyog').
K.L. Chaturvedi v.State Of Madhya Pradesh And Ors.
The petitioner challenged the constitutionality of the Drugs Act, 1940, arguing that the amendment requiring mandatory disclosure of the true formula or ingredient list for his proprietary medicine 'Germs Killer' would expose his trade secret. The court upheld the amended provisions, finding them reasonable and necessary for public health and safety.
K.L. Chaturvedi v.State Of Madhya Pradesh And Ors.
The petitioner challenged the constitutionality of the Drugs Act, 1940, arguing that the amendment requiring mandatory disclosure of the true formula or list of ingredients for his proprietary medicine 'Germs Killer' infringed upon his right to protect his trade secret. The court upheld the amended provision, stating that the requirement was reasonable and aimed at preserving public health and safety.
