Dhruv Rathee defamation case: Delhi Court issues fresh bailable warrants
Judicial Magistrate Rahul Jain issued the fresh warrants against Dhruv Rathee in a case filed by Vikas Sanskrityayan, who accused the YouTuber of defamation over a video uploaded on his channel
The Madras High Court has prohibited a restaurant situated near the Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from employing the name 'HOTEL SANGETHAS PURE VEG RESTAURANT.' The court's reasoning was based on the likelihood that hungry customers might mistake it for the globally recognized Sangeetha chain of restaurants.
Justice P.B. Balaji referenced the Tamil poet Avvaiyar's words, "Pasi Vandhal Pathum Paranthu Pogum" and the Tamil idiom, "Pasi Kanna Kattuthu," to support his decision. Balaji emphasized that a hungry person would not pay attention to the restaurant's appearance, color scheme, or device marks, but would be swayed by its name. The judge also noted that the respondent had maintained the 'e' in the English version of the name but used 'Sangethas' in Tamil, which could still lead to confusion.
Furthermore, Balaji rejected the argument that Sangeetha Caterers and Consultants LLP had no presence in Thanjavur, asserting that the city's rich cultural heritage would bring a large number of visitors, including those from other parts of the world, who might easily mistake the restaurant for Sangeetha.
