Dispute Summary
The Khadi And Village Industries Commission (KVIC), a government body, sued the Khadi Design Council of India and others for infringement and contempt related to the use of the trademark 'KHADI'. KVIC alleged that the defendants continued using 'KHADI' in their name, website, videos, and promotional materials despite an interim injunction order. The dispute centered on whether KVIC could claim exclusive rights over the term 'KHADI', a traditional handloom cloth designation.
Outcome / Ruling
The court disposed of an application for additional documents, directed compliance with the existing interim injunction against using 'KHADI', and deferred a decision on whether KVIC could claim exclusive rights over the term until a later hearing.
