JUDGMENT
This action was instituted to permanently restrain the defendant from making derogatory/defamatory statements and to direct payment of a sum of Rs.10 lakhs as damages.
2. The suit summons was served on sole defendant on 20.09.2025.
Because the defendant failed to enter appearance in spite of service of suit summons, the defendant was set ex parte on 08.12.2025. Thereafter, the plaintiff adduced ex parte evidence by examining Mr.Ranendra Kumar Chanda as PW1. In course of the examination in chief of P.W.1, 15 documents were exhibited as Exs.P1 to P15.
3. Learned counsel for the plaintiff invited my attention to the first examination report of the patent office (Ex.P5), wherein the defendant’s application was cited as prior art. She points out that said application was abandoned. She also refers to the grant on 19.
