Dispute Summary
The Karnataka High Court dismissed a petition filed by M/S Dhrithi Surgical Solutions challenging the rejection of its application to return a plaint. The core issue was whether the Udupi District Court had territorial jurisdiction over an infringement and passing-off suit involving trademarks. The court upheld the trial court's decision, noting that since the plaintiff (Sumukha Surgicals) was carrying on business within the Udupi district, the jurisdictional bar under Section 134(2) of the Trade Marks Act did not apply, especially given the inclusion of a passing-off claim.
