Dispute Summary
The Karnataka High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by M/S South Thindis, which sought to stay an ongoing trademark infringement suit based on its pending application for rectification. The court held that since the petitioner raised the plea of invalidity for the first time in the written statement and not before the suit was instituted, the mandate of Section 124(1)(b)(i) did not apply. Furthermore, the court noted the belated nature of the stay request, citing precedent against staying proceedings at a late stage.
