https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305063 Section 134(2) of the Trade Marks Act creates an additional forum for a trademark plaintiff to sue where it actually and voluntarily resides, carries on business, or personally works for gain, and it must be read purposively with Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which continues to govern suits based on the defendant's residence or the place where the cause of action arises. The plaintiff is not required to travel to the defendant's forum, but if the plaintiff also carries on business where the cause of action arises, the suit must be filed there. Applying that approach, the plaint could not be rejected merely because the plaintiff did not carry on business within jurisdiction, and the suit was restored for trial. en-us Tue, 15 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 21:32:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305063 Section 134(2) of the Trade Marks Act creates an additional forum for a trademark plaintiff to sue where it actually and voluntarily resides, carries on business, or personally works for gain, and it must be read purposively with Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which continues to govern suits based on the defendant's residence or the place where the cause of action arises.
