The legal battle over the alleged infringement of trademark of whisky brands witnessed an unusual sight in the Supreme Court as liquor bottles were placed before the country's highest court.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud was hearing a plea by liquor major Pernod Ricard India Pvt Ltd, which manufactures and sells 'Blenders Pride' and 'Imperial Blue' whisky, against last November's verdict of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
Mr. Ricard had approached the High Court against an order passed by commercial court, Indore, which rejected their application for issuance of temporary injunction. The firm had alleged infringement of their trade mark.
