Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed an appeal filed by Apex Shoe Company challenging the dismissal of its application to amend its written statement in a trademark infringement suit. The court upheld the Commercial Court's decision, ruling that since the Defendant failed to plead the invalidity of the Plaintiff's mark initially, it cannot introduce this defense years later. The judgment emphasizes the strict requirement for pleading defenses at the outset and maintains that once evidence is concluded, allowing amendments would violate procedural mandates.
