The Kerala High Court dismissed an Original Petition filed by M.Manuvel, which challenged a lower court's order regarding jurisdiction in a trademark and passing off suit. The core issue revolved around the defendant's late application to amend their written statement to raise objections concerning territorial jurisdiction. Citing Supreme Court precedent, the court held that without demonstrating due diligence before the trial commenced, such an amendment could not be allowed after the proceedings had started.
