Sri Krishna Sweets trademark dispute: Madras High Court refuses to summon Deputy Registrar

The Madras High Court has rejected a plea by Coimbatore-based Sri Krishna Sweets Private Limited, represented by its managing director M. Krishnan, to summon the Deputy Registrar of Trade Marks in Chennai to tender evidence in a trademark dispute between him and his brother M. Murali.

Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy said, no useful purpose would be served in summoning the Deputy Registrar to tender evidence with respect to the nature of the trademark registered in 1988. He, however, said the parties could raise their contentions on the disputed issue during the course of the final arguments.
