Dispute Summary
The petitioner filed a writ petition against respondents for manufacturing and marketing 'kitchen salt' under the trade mark Dandi, which included a pictorial representation suggesting an association with Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March. The petitioner argued this violated the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950. The court found that both the name and the picture created an impression related to Mahatma Gandhi and thus violated the Act.
