Dispute Summary
The Supreme Court dismissed multiple transfer petitions filed by educational institutions using the 'DAV' acronym. The petitioners sought to move their trademark infringement suits from Delhi to Chennai, citing issues of distance, language barriers, and age of management. However, the court held that since the respondent (Dav College Managing Committee) also operates numerous institutions across India, transferring the cases would create an imbalance and defeat the jurisdictional purpose of Section 134 of the Trade Marks Act. The court emphasized that convenience cannot override the need for a fair and stable legal process.
