Hastimal Jain Trading As Oswal ... vs Registrar Of Trade Marks & Anr. on 8 December, 1999
Relying upon the dicta in Hastimal Jain (supra) the learned single Judge held that the Registrar was justified in making an order about abandonment. This view also stands to reason for the simple reason otherwise it will mean that there will be a separate and extended time limit for filing prescribed fee. As seen earlier the Form TM-5 clearly states at the top of it that the fee prescribed is Rs.2,500/-. It is a special Act and one has to be vigilant and careful about ones right and steps to be taken. To oppose the registration of a trade mark, one has to go in the particular manner as prescribed under the Act.
