A. K. Roy & Anr vs Voltas Limited on 1 December, 1972
Shri H.L. Sibal, learned counsel for the petitioner, argued that in view of the decisions of the Supreme Court in A.K. Roy v. Voltas Ltd. (supra) and in Atic Industries case, the Government of India was in error in holding that the petitioners and Nestle's were not parties dealing at arm's length merely because they were not unfamiliar and independent parties. He further urged that brand name was the property of Nestle's Products (India) Ltd., had included in the price at which the Nestle's sold that products in the market could not possibly enter the 'wholesale cash price' at which the products could be sold by the petitioner to Nestle's or any other buyer since the brand name of Nestle's was not petitioner's to sell.
