Dispute Summary
Glaxo Smith Kline challenged the rejection of their application for exclusive marketing rights. The core dispute revolved around whether the Controller was legally obligated to consider the examiner's report when making the final decision under Section 24A of the Patents Act, 1970. The Court set aside the impugned order and remanded the matter for a fresh decision based on the law existing at the time of the initial rejection.
