Dispute Summary
This Gujarat High Court judgment addressed a critical jurisdictional dispute regarding trademark infringement suits. Cadila Healthcare challenged the jurisdiction of the Fast Track Court, arguing that Section 134 of the Trade Marks Act mandates such cases be heard only by a District Court. The Court ultimately rejected this contention, ruling that due to the structural provisions linking Fast Track Courts and Additional Judges to the District Judge's cadre, the Fast Track Court possesses the necessary jurisdiction to try the suit.
