Permanent injunction against firm for violating copyright – The Delhi high court last week passed permanent injunction against a firm which violated the copyright and trade mark of Castrol Ltd in the field of oils and lubricants. The court further asked the guilty firm to pay “punitive damages” of Rs 10 lakh. This, explained the judgment of the high court, was “with a view to discourage and dishearten the law-breakers to indulge in such like violations with impunity.”
