M/S. Arte Indiana v.M/S. P. Mittulaul Lalah And Sons
This appeal before the Bombay High Court addressed a dispute involving allegations of copyright violation, trademark infringement, and passing off. The core legal issue was whether the court could grant leave to combine these diverse causes of action into a single suit, despite some actions occurring outside the court's immediate territorial jurisdiction. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, emphasizing that Clause 14 is intended to prevent multiplicity of litigation.
P.M. Diesels Ltd. v.M/S. Patel Field Marshal
The appeal challenged a single judge's order dismissing an application for temporary injunction due to lack of territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction. The plaintiff claimed jurisdiction based on copyright law (Section 62) and the sale/registration of trade marks in Delhi. The Division Bench held that the court had both territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction, setting aside the lower court's judgment.
