The Industrial Gases Ltd. v.Kamrup Industrial Gases Ltd.
The Industrial Gases Ltd. appealed an order refusing them an interim injunction concerning Patent No. 169335. The court examined the principles governing interlocutory injunctions, noting that the Trial Judge had exercised discretion in denying the relief. Ultimately, the appellate court found no perversity in the Trial Judge's decision and dismissed the appeal.
M/S. J.N. Nichols (Vimto) Limited v.Rose & Thistle And Another
This Calcutta High Court judgment addressed an application to remove a registered trademark based on non-use. The core issue was whether 'special circumstances in the trade' could excuse the proprietor from meeting the statutory requirement of continuous use for five years or more. The court ultimately found that the existence of a similar product (Vimto) being sold despite import restrictions negated the claim of special circumstances, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
