Dispute Summary
This Delhi High Court judgment addresses complex jurisdictional issues arising from an action for passing off. The Plaintiff, a Singapore-registered company using the mark 'Banyan Tree' in the hospitality sector, sued Defendants based on their use of a deceptively similar mark online. Since neither party was physically located within the court's jurisdiction, the Division Bench examined whether the mere accessibility of the defendant's website in Delhi was sufficient to establish territorial jurisdiction under Section 20 CPC.
