BIFR scheme no shield against 'dishonesty'; Refuses stay on trademark infringement suit |
HC dismisses defendants' application seeking stay of trademark infringement suit filed by plaintiff, rejecting contention that since it was a 'sick industrial company', permission of Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) u/s 22(1) of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act (provides for suspension of certain legal proceedings) was required for filing of infringement suit, Rules that, "Section 22(1) was enacted with the intent to insulate the sick companies only against proceedings for winding-up, execution or for recovery of money etc., and the embargo stated therein is only with reference to the dues reckoned or included in the 'sanctioned scheme'"; Further rejects defendant's contention that plaintiffs demand for temporary injunction qualified as an action amounting to 'distress' which if granted would adversely impact implementation of BIFR approved rehabilitation scheme; Holds that, "if the property/design in question does not belong to the defendants, then the provision of Section 22(1) of the SICA cannot be invoked as the said Section does not protect 'theft' and/or piracy and/or imitation. After all the BIFR Scheme cannot be used as a 'shield' to carry out illegal/infringing activities"; Relies on Bombay HC observations in Special Steels Ltd. v. Jay Prestressed Products Ltd. and SC observations in Deputy Commercial Tax Officer and Ors. Vs. Corromandal Pharmaceutical & Ors. wherein it was observed that Section 22 (of SICA) was not meant to breed dishonesty nor can it be so operated as to encourage unfair practices:Delhi HC |
The ruling was delivered by Justice Manmohan. Advocates Pravin Anand, Vaishali Mittal, D. Neha Reddy and Siddhant Chandola argued on behalf of plaintiffs while defendants were represented by Advocates Priya Kumar and Tanya Tiwari. |
LSI Note: Section 22(1) of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 provides that where in respect of an industrial company, a sanctioned scheme for rehabilitation is under consideration then, no proceedings for winding up of industrial company/ execution/ distress or like against any of the properties of the industrial company or for the appointment of a receiver in respect thereof shall lie or be proceeded with further, except with the consent of Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction. |
