Cadila Laboratories Ltd. And Anr. vs Dabur India Limited on 31 March, 1997

The decision in Hoechst Pharmaceuticals Ltd (supra) has been relied upon by the learned counsel for the plaintiffs to submit that derivative drugs from the same bulk drug may have different therapeutic values. It was submitted that while both the plaintiffs and the defendant are manufacturing and marketing Temozolomide, their products are not interchangeable and may have different therapeutic values. Consequently, consumers may be deceived into purchasing the defendant's product thinking that it would have the IA 2226/2007 in CS(OS)361 /2007 Page No.15 of 17 same therapeutic value as that of the plaintiffs' products. This argument cannot be accepted because it proceeds on the basis of an assumption that the plaintiffs' products are superior to the defendant's product. At this prima facie stage such an assumption cannot be made. Moreover, the defendant has a drug licence under the Drug and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and no presumption can be drawn that the defendant's product is not a quality product.
