Dispute Summary
This appeal addressed an interim injunction sought by Baker Hughes Ltd. to prevent the use of its corporate name 'Baker' by an Indian company (second appellant). The core dispute revolved around a contractual clause stipulating that the Indian company must drop the name if the plaintiff's shareholding fell below 40%. The Delhi High Court ultimately allowed the appeal, finding that the restrictive clause was likely violative of government approval conditions and public policy, thereby dismissing the interim relief.
