The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said it would hear on January 27 the application filed by Abhishek Lodha-promoted Macrotech Developers Ltd seeking an injunction against his younger brother from using the trademark ‘Lodha’. Last week, the company filed a suit against Abhinandan Lodha’s real estate firm, House of Abhinandan Lodha, claiming that the name ‘Lodha’ was their trademark and no one else could use it. In an interim application, the company sought a perpetual injunction against the defendants from infringing its trademark “Lodha”.

The application came up for hearing on Tuesday morning before a single bench of Justice Manish Pitale. The court, however, noted that it could not hear the plea, as the suit had sought damages of Rs 5000 crore. As per court assignment, any suit that sought damages of more than R100 crore would have to be heard by the single bench of Justice Arif Doctor.
