"a. Whether Hon'ble High Court at Delhi has
jurisdiction to entertain the Petition seeking
rectification of a Trade Mark bearing Trade Mark
Application No.3897902 registered by Trade Mark
Registry, Mumbai, in favour of the Respondent having
his registered address in the State of Madhya Pradesh?
Ans: If the aforesaid interpretation of Khajoor Singh
(Supra) and Kusum Ingots and Alloys Ltd (Supra) are
correct and considered as applicable to the term 'The
High Court' and its power then, it can be stated that the
respective 'High Court' having jurisdiction over the
respective Trade Mark Registry is the appropriate
'High Court' within the meaning of Section 57 of the
Trade Marks Act, 1999 as amended by Tribunal
Reforms Act, 2021. The cause of action and effect of
registration over the 'Person Aggrieved' beyond the
territorial limits of the 'High Court' are not the
relevant considerations u/s. 57 of the Trade Marks Act,
1999.
