The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain the petition filed by Arudra Engineers challenging the order of division bench of Madras HC which stayed the single bench direction restraining Patanjali Ayurved from using the trademark 'Coronil'. The Petitioner has assailed an order passed by the Division bench of Madras High Court which had issued an interim stay on the single bench order restraining Patanjali Ayurved and the Divya Yog Mandir Trust from using the word "Coronil" in relation to its immunity-boosting products. On August 6, a single bench of Justice C V Karthikeyan passed an absolute injunction order, restraining it from using the trademark 'Coronil', after observing that Patanjali was exploiting public fear by projecting that they could cure COVID-19.
