• Acquiescence and Injunctions under Trade Marks Act - The courts have held that acquiescence by the plaintiff, such as allowing the defendant to use the trade mark without objection, can bar the grant of an injunction. In the case referenced, granting an injunction restraining the defendant was denied because the plaintiff's acts, including permitting concurrent use, fell under Section 46(3) of the Trade Marks Act, which recognizes that such conduct can constitute acquiescence or waiver, especially when there are special circumstances like government restrictions. Allowing the defendant to continue using the trade mark would effectively endorse illegal activities GOLD STAR COMPANY LIMITED VS GOLD STAR INDUS. LIMITED - Delhi.

• Limitations and Application of Law - The applicability of the Limitation Act to proceedings before bodies like the Company Law Board is complex, with considerations of delay and illegalities affecting the scope of relief. For example, proceedings related to the rectification of the register or illegal issuance of shares involve specific statutory provisions and limitations, and mere waiver or acquiescence can influence the court's decision NUPUR MITRA VS BASUBANI PVT. LTD - Calcutta.

• Judicial Review and Injunctive Relief - Judicial review applications for declaration or injunctions require that the relief be just and convenient. Courts may grant interim injunctions upon admission of the petition, but such orders are subject to appeal, and the nature of the relief depends on the circumstances. The process involves a balance of justice, and injunctions granted in judicial review are not automatic but based on the merits and legal considerations involved S. P. Gupta: V. M. Tarkunde: J. L.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Under the Trade Marks Act, acquiescence by the plaintiff—such as allowing continued use of the trade mark—can prevent the court from granting an injunction, especially when special circumstances like government restrictions are involved. Courts recognize that such conduct may constitute waiver or estoppel, thereby barring relief. Furthermore, procedural aspects like limitations and the scope of judicial review influence whether injunctions are granted. Overall, acquiescence acts as a significant bar to granting trade mark injunctions, emphasizing the importance of vigilant enforcement and timely action.
