Dabur India Ltd vs K.R. Industries on 16 May, 2008
10. The Court below by referring the judgments
reported in AIR 2008 SUPREME COURT 3132 PTC
348 Dabur India Ltd., v. K.R. Industries has held
that, the suit is maintainable in respect of a
composite suit in respect of both the Trade Mark Act
and Copy right Act. Para 29 of the said judgment is
relevant for further purpose where it has been held
that, "A composite suit would not entitle a court to
entertain a suit in respect whereof it has no
jurisdiction, territorial or otherwise". IA No.1 filed by
the plaintiff under the Trade Mark Act for the relief of
passing off, when such being the case it should not
have been construed as composite suit. The suit is
still pending and it is submitted that, yet the issues
have not been framed. Under these circumstances
and in the light of the judgments of the Supreme
Court and also this Court referred supra, the trial
Court is required to examine the requirements of
Section 2(b) of Trade Mark Act and Section 20 of the
13
CPC for the purpose of filing suit where the
defendants reside or carrying on business and more
particularly the Court below should examine the legal
position by referring para No.29 of the judgment in
the case of Dabur India and related case.
Section 134 in The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 [Entire Act]
M/S J P Distilleries Pvt Ltd vs M/S Shashi Distilleries Pvt Ltd on 25 February, 2009
has
been placed reliance by the learned counsel, where
the judgment referred supra in Premier Distilleries
case has been followed and held at para No.16 of the
judgment that, "there is no right in the person to
assert infringement before registration is granted.
This is clear from the fact that to maintain the suit for
infringement, the cause of action would arise only if
the trade mark is registered and the use of such
'registered trade mark' is infringed.
