News summary

The Bombay High Court has imposed a Rs 4 crore penalty on Patanjali Ayurved Ltd for willfully violating a 2023 interim order prohibiting the sale of its camphor products amid a trademark infringement case brought by Mangalam Organics Ltd. Justice R I Chagla ruled that Patanjali had intentionally disregarded the court's directive, prompting Mangalam Organics to seek contempt action. This new penalty follows an earlier Rs 50 lakh penalty imposed for similar violations. Patanjali's director, Rajneesh Mishra, submitted an affidavit apologizing and asserting compliance, yet he admitted to distributing camphor worth Rs 49,57,861 post-injunction. The court has mandated that the Rs 4 crore fine be paid within two weeks, warning that failure to comply could result in immediate custody for Mishra. The case highlights ongoing concerns over trademark rights and compliance with court orders in India.
