Dispute Summary
M/S Babbar Wreckers Private Ltd. filed suit against M/S Ashok Leyland Ltd., claiming rights over technical specifications and engineering drawings used for manufacturing Light Recovery Vehicles (LRVs). The dispute centered on the alleged unauthorized use of these designs by Ashok Leyland in contracts with the Central Government. While Babbar Wreckers claimed substantial reputation and prior contractual benefits, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish prima facie copyright ownership over the drawings. Consequently, the court balanced competing interests by directing Ashok Leyland to provide an undertaking for damages and file detailed accounts of profits derived from related government contracts.
