Dispute Summary
Girnar Tea filed a suit for passing off against Brook Bond (India) Ltd. alleging that the latter was using the deceptively similar mark 'GULNAR' on tea cartons, thereby confusing consumers. The court found that both marks were phonetically and visually similar, and despite initial arguments regarding retail outlets, ruled in favor of Girnar Tea, granting an injunction.
