The plaintiffs claimed the defendants were selling lubricants with labels imitating their trade dress.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was decreed against Washim Khan (first defendant) with damages and injunctions, while Shree Siddhi Auto Centre (second defendant) received a limited decree regarding copyright infringement and passing off, with certain prayers for relief dismissed due to their affidavit stating they innocently purchased the infringing product.
