Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of Soongachi Tea Industries, granting an interim injunction against Sona Spices Pvt. Ltd. The court found that despite Sona Spices' prior use of the mark for spices, they had not established a prima facie case regarding their use of 'Sona' for tea before 1993. Given the Defendant's long-standing and substantial business in Sona tea, the balance of convenience lay with protecting the existing market player.
