Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav found that ACNE + SCAR on the HEXILAK pack was used as a product name rather than a description, that a house mark is no answer to infringement, and that the two marks are near identical in sound.

Hearing the batch on a Sunday with the fee deadline a day away, Justice Nupur Bhati held that Clause 8.4 of the 2022 policy gives colleges time to get accredited but does not excuse the separate conditions for extending a temporary NOC, which every one of the seven had been found to breach.
