Bengaluru: The High Court on Tuesday allowed a petition of Tata SIA Airlines Ltd with regard to the controversy over the use of brand name ‘Vistara’. It has come as relief for the airline.
Justice Aravind Kumar ordered the 18th City Civil and Sessions Court to return the suit filed by M/s Vistara Voyages (India) Pvt Ltd, a travel agency, for want of jurisdiction.
Justice Kumar observed that Vistara Voyages does not hold a registered trademark and applied for it only on July 21, 2014 which is still pending. The bench also said that there was no evidence that Vistara had a branch office in Bengaluru or it was operating from there so as to enable initiation of a suit here. Tata SIA Airlines Ltd had challenged the order of December 18, 2014 passed by City Civil Court refusing to return the plea for want of jurisdiction.
