The Delhi High Court has permanently restrained retailers on e-commerce platform Amazon from selling sherbets made in Pakistan under the ‘Rooh Afza’ brand owned by India’s Hamdard. The court’s verdict came after the Hamdard National Foundation (India) approached it with a complaint that sherbets manufactured in Pakistan were being sold in India under identical name. The high court decreed the suit in favour of Hamdard which had adopted the mark ‘Rooh Afza’ in 1907.
