Ashique Exports (P) Ltd v.The Registrar Of Trade Marks
The Madras High Court ruled in favor of Ashique Exports, setting aside an adverse abandonment order passed by the Registrar of Trade Marks. The petitioner argued that they were never properly served with the Notice of Opposition regarding their 'Vi-Wash' trademark application.

The Court found that despite evidence of communication from the respondent, there was no proof presented by the Registry confirming service upon the appellant.
