Dispute Summary
The Allahabad High Court quashed an earlier commercial court order that had stayed proceedings in a trademark dispute. The core issue revolved around whether the suit was for infringement or merely injunction, and the proper forum for filing rectification applications under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The Court clarified that while the initial nature of the suit is crucial, the ultimate authority to decide rectification petitions lies exclusively with the High Court, not the Registrar. Consequently, the stay order was deemed unsustainable.
