Bombay HC restrains publisher from using Goenka’s name

On 20 Nov, the Bombay High Court in an interim order restrained publisher Prashant Goenka from using the name and image of Indian Express Group founder Rammath Goenka in the newspaper Sajaga Samachar Parivartan Ka. The court was hearing an infringement suit file by the Indian Express Group.  It said Mr. Goenka was claiming to be Ramnath Goenka’s grandson and passing off his newspaper as part of the Indian Express Group. Indian Express counsel Dinyar Madon argued that Mr. Goenka was seeking to ride on the goodwill of the Indian Express Group.
