Dispute Summary
M/S. H.T. Media Ltd. challenged the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) prohibition against displaying its trade name on public boards in front of housing societies, arguing it was merely informational and not an advertisement. The MCD contended that this display served a commercial purpose to promote the petitioner's brand. The High Court ultimately ruled that since the display aimed to promote and publicize the newspaper 'Hindustan Times', it constituted 'advertisement' under the DMC Act, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
