The court held that Sections 134 and 62 provide an forum but do not dispense with the need to establish jurisdictional facts. On the pleaded material, there was no showing of business activity in Delhi, sale of the impugned goods there, or any jurisdictional effect from filing a trade mark application in Delhi.
