Paramount Surgimed Limited v.Paramount Bed India Private Limited & Ors
The Delhi High Court set aside an earlier ex-parte injunction granted in favor of Paramount Surgimed Limited.

Given the established business operations of the defendants, the balance of convenience lay in their favor, allowing them to continue their trade.
