The Supreme Court on Monday (Nov 25) refused to interfere with a Delhi High Court ruling that quashed a forgery case filed by toothpaste manufacturer, Anchor against its rival Colgate. A Bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and R Mahadevan dismissed the appeal filed by Anchor in this regard. “We do not find any reason to interfere with the orders impugned in these petitions. The present petitions are, accordingly, dismissed,” it said.
The Delhi High Court dismissed forgery allegations brought by Anchor toothpaste against Colgate and its officials. Anchor accused Colgate of forging trademark registration documents, but the court found insufficient evidence to support the claim. The court nullified the complaint and summoning order, clearing Colgate of the allegations. The case underscores the need for concrete evidence in legal actions.
