Abstract
The present case is an example of trademark infringement wherein the defendants were found guilty of counterfeiting the plaintiff’s goods and marks. Although the parties decided to settle the dispute, the Bombay High Court set an example by imposing a heavy penalty on the defendants in order to deter such immoral and unethical practices in the future.
