«Accordingly, let the plaint be registered as suit. Issue summons… Let the written statement be filed by the defendants within thirty days from today,» the order said.
Dabur alleged that while promoting Patanjali Special Chyawanprash, fallacious and deliberate imputations were made, which defamed its product Dabur Chyawanprash — a market leader with a share of more than 60 per cent.
The court also issued notice on an application seeking an interim relief and posted the hearing on January 30.
The plea said in the advertisements, the defendants have claimed only Patanjali Special Chyawanprash was the «original» and therefore «special» besides being «shreshtham/sarv-shreshth» or the best Chyawanprash, made according to the «charak, sushrut, dhanwantari, chyawan sage tradition» and other manufacturers had no such knowledge and were therefore ordinary.
