A Division Bench of the Bombay High Court stayed a single-judge’s decision to impose a Rs 4.5 crore penalty on Patanjali Ayurved in a trademark infringement case. The costs were levied on Patanjali by a single Bench of Justice RI Chagla in July this year for violating an interim order that prohibited the company from selling camphor products that allegedly infringed on the trademark of Mangalam Organics. Justices AS Chandurkar and Rajesh Patil today stayed the single-judge orders of July 8 and July 29, but allowed the Rs 50 lakhs already deposited by Patanjali to remain with the Court.
