Court Orders Registrar to Amend Company Name Due to Similarity Issue
The court directed the Registrar of Companies to remove/modify Respondent No.3's name within two months to address the similarity issue with the Petitioner's company name, "Pure Cure Ayurveda Private Limited." Respondent No.3's willingness to rectify the situation and the potential for market confusion led to the court's decision, absolving Respondent No.3 from further proceedings.
Issues: Challenge to incorporation of Respondent No.3 company's name resembling Petitioner's company name.
Analysis: The writ petition was filed by the Petitioners challenging the incorporation of Respondent No.3 under a name similar to the Petitioner's company name. The Petitioners sought cancellation/rectification of Respondent No.3's name, citing Sections 4 and 16 of the Companies Act, 2013, which prohibit names resembling existing companies. The Petitioner's substantial revenues and the similarity between the names were highlighted as grounds for the challenge.
Respondent No.3, in response to the petition, expressed willingness to approach the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for striking down its name to avoid litigation and competition with the Petitioner. The Respondent cited the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason to minimize costs and expenses. However, technical issues prevented Respondent No.3 from seeking cancellation due to the pending writ petition.
The court, after considering Sections 4 and 16 of the Companies Act, 2013, emphasized the importance of avoiding confusion in the market between similar business names. The court noted the resemblance between the names "Pure Cure Ayurveda Private Limited" and "Purecure Private Limited" and the potential for confusion. Given Respondent No.3's willingness to rectify the situation, the court directed the ROC to remove/modify the Register of Companies by rectifying Respondent No.3's name within two months of filing the necessary forms, absolving Respondent No.3 from the ongoing proceedings.
In conclusion, the court disposed of the petition, acknowledging Respondent No.3's intent to rectify the name issue and directing the necessary actions for the name rectification within a specified timeline.
