Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court allowed an appeal filed by a jewelry business owner, ruling that the defendant was engaging in passing off. The court found that despite minor differences in signage, the similarity between 'Kamatchi Jewellery' and 'Kamatchi Thanga Maligai' was sufficient to mislead the public. Citing precedents emphasizing the duty of the court to protect the public from deception, the High Court set aside the lower court's dismissal and granted a permanent injunction.
