No. 48 of 84 against the petitioner for the offence under S. 63 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and under Ss. 78 and 79 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958. The opposite party filed a complaint alleging that the petitioner is trading in 'khara Masala' using similar wrapper as that of the complainant and thereby has committed the offence for which cognisance has been taken. On receipt of the said complaint and on examining the complainant, the learned Magistrate came to the conclusion that a prima facie case under S. 63 of the Copyright Act and under Ss. 78 and 79 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act has been established and, therefore, took cognisance summoning the accused to appear before him by 17th July, 1984.
