Bombay HC Restrains Use Of ‘Jio’ Trademark For Taxi Services, Grants Interim Relief To Reliance Industries
**Bombay High Court Grants Interim Injunction in Favor of Reliance Industries to Restrain Use of ‘JIO’ Trademark by Jiocabs**
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has granted an interim injunction in favor of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), restraining certain parties from using its registered ‘JIO’ trademark for taxi services being offered under the domain name www.jiocabs.com.
**Prima Facie Case Established**
Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan, on Tuesday, granted the interim protection after observing that Reliance had established a strong prima facie case. The court highlighted that continued use of the well-known brand by unauthorized parties could cause serious harm to Reliance’s goodwill.
“The continued usage of a well-known and protected brand name would indeed cause grave injury,” the court noted. It further added that, “considering the mending of ways by the Defendants, even the balance of convenience would be in favour of grant of the ad-interim relief.”
**Arguments Presented by Reliance**
Vinod Bhahat, advocate representing Reliance, argued that the company is the registered proprietor of the ‘JIO’ mark, which is protected across multiple classes. Reliance contended that the use of the mark ‘Jiocabs’ and the associated domain name amounted to trademark infringement and passing off.
The website and its promotional material allegedly used names, logos, and artistic elements identical or deceptively similar to Reliance’s registered marks.
**History and Evidence**
RIL informed the court that it had adopted the JIO mark in 2016, with registrations dating back to 2011 and 2012. The company described the mark as a “well-known trademark,” supported by extensive evidence including screenshots, WhatsApp conversations, and promotional images illustrating active misuse of its brand identity.
**Defendants’ Conduct Noted**
Although the defendants had altered some content after receiving a legal notice, Reliance submitted that they continued to hold and operate the disputed domain name. This, Reliance argued, perpetuated confusion among consumers.
The court noted that despite being served, the defendants had not entered an appearance. However, they acknowledged that the defendants appeared to have “mended their approach” by shifting to a new name, though the domain www.jiocabs.com remained active.
**Interim Relief Granted**
After considering the rival marks, labels, and the conduct of the parties, the court held that an urgent interim order was justified. The bench restrained the defendants from using the ‘JIO’ mark, the impugned domain name, or any logos, labels, or artwork identical or deceptively similar to Reliance’s trademarks or copyrighted material.
**Next Hearing**
The defendants have been permitted to file their affidavit in reply within four weeks. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on November 28, 2025.

Madhur Bhandarkar objects to Chandni Bar Returns; producers claim legal rights secured
**Madhur Bhandarkar Raises Objection to Title ‘Chandni Bar Returns’; Producers Claim Legal Rights Secured**
Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has expressed objections to the use of the title *Chandni Bar Returns* by producer Sandeep Singh and director Ajay Bahl. Bhandarkar, who directed the original *Chandni Bar* (2001) starring Tabu, has lodged a complaint with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA). He claims the makers of the sequel are using his registered title without proper consent.
The 2001 drama, which won multiple National Awards and established Bhandarkar’s name in Indian cinema, remains one of his most acclaimed works. In his complaint, he alleged that the title *Chandni Bar* belongs to him, and that Singh and Bahl have proceeded without authorisation.
Following Bhandarkar’s grievance, IMPPA has reportedly instructed the makers to halt the use of the title until the dispute is resolved.
### Producers Respond with Legal Clarification
In response, Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios issued an official statement countering Bhandarkar’s claims. The studio asserted that they hold all necessary rights to proceed with the project.
Legend Studios clarified that they acquired the option rights to the title from the original producers of *Chandni Bar*, represented by the late R. Mohan’s wife, Lata Mohan Iyer. She is listed as the proprietor in the Government of India’s Trademark Registry.
Co-producer Vishal Gurnani stated:
“Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios has acquired the Option Rights of the said title from the Original Producers, who are also the owners of the Registered Trademark and IP rights of the original cult classic *Chandni Bar* (2001). We want to state that no other banner can legally make the said film. Our IP lawyers are replying to the concerned trade associations and are taking all necessary steps to validate and protect our legal rights.”
Additionally, the studio shared the official trademark certificate (Application Number 1662053, Class 41), listing Lata Mohan Iyer as the proprietor, substantiating their claim to the title.
### The Road Ahead for *Chandni Bar Returns*
Despite Bhandarkar’s objection, Legend Studios has confirmed that the sequel is moving forward. Directed by Ajay Bahl, *Chandni Bar Returns* is slated for a worldwide release on December 3, 2026.
The makers describe the film as a reimagined sequel that will retain the essence of the original while presenting a modern, gritty narrative tailored for contemporary audiences. Legend Studios emphasizes its commitment to honoring the legacy of the 2001 classic while ensuring that the production of *Chandni Bar Returns* remains legally compliant and respectful of the original’s cultural impact.

US Supreme Court’s new term will examine Trump’s presidential power
**US Supreme Court’s New Term to Examine Trump’s Presidential Powers**
*By Chanshimla Varah | October 7, 2025, 11:20 AM*
The United States Supreme Court opened its new term on Monday, with Chief Justice John Roberts swiftly rejecting over 800 pending appeals. Among these was a notable appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, who challenged her conviction for luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by her late partner, Jeffrey Epstein.
### Focus on Trump’s Expansive Presidential Power
Over the next ten months, a primary focus for the justices will be assessing former President Donald Trump’s broad claims of presidential power. Several key cases related to his administration’s actions are set to be heard this term.
### LGBTQ+ Rights: Therapy Ban Cases
One of the initial cases the court will review concerns state bans on therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity. Nearly half of the U.S. states have enacted such bans, making this a critical case for LGBTQ+ rights nationwide.
### Trade and Tariff Case
On November 5, the court will hear a major case addressing Trump’s imposition of tariffs on imports. Two lower courts have ruled that Trump lacked the statutory authority to impose these tariffs, setting the stage for a significant Supreme Court decision.
### Authority Over Independent Agencies
In December, the court will consider a case regarding Trump’s authority to remove members of independent agencies at will. This case has the potential to overturn or significantly narrow a 90-year-old precedent surrounding presidential powers.
### Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
Another significant case pending before the court involves Trump’s executive order that sought to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are either in the country illegally or temporarily. The Trump administration has appealed lower court rulings declaring this order unconstitutional. Arguments on this case may take place in late winter or early spring.
### Federal Reserve Board Dispute
The justices will also conduct an expedited review of Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from her position as a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, a key and influential institution in U.S. financial policy.
### National Guard Troop Deployment Legal Battle
The term will also see a legal dispute stemming from Trump’s efforts to seize control of state National Guard troops and deploy them in cities where he alleged rampant crime, despite opposition from local and state leaders. A federal court in Oregon has barred Trump’s proposed troop deployment to Portland, and an appeals court is set to review this decision in the coming days.
—
As the Supreme Court embarks on this term, many of the cases will have far-reaching consequences on the bounds of presidential authority and the legal landscape surrounding policy and civil rights.

### Federal Reserve Board Dispute
An expedited review is also expected regarding Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from her position as a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, a vital institution in U.S. financial policy.
### National Guard Troop Deployment Legal Battle
The latest legal battle involves Trump’s attempts to deploy state National Guard troops in cities with high crime rates, against objections from local and state officials. A federal court in Oregon recently barred Trump’s troop deployment to Portland, with an appeals court set to review that decision in the coming days.

Lawyer tries to hurl shoe towards CJI Gavai in courtroom
A lawyer allegedly attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai during proceedings in the Supreme Court on Monday, according to reports from lawyers present.
The incident took place while a Bench led by the CJI was hearing the mentioning of cases by lawyers. The lawyer approached the dais, removed his shoe, and tried to throw it towards the judge. Alert security personnel inside the courtroom immediately intervened and prevented the attack.
The lawyer was swiftly escorted out of the court premises. As he was being taken away, he was heard shouting, “Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge” (We will not tolerate insult of Sanatan Dharma).
Despite the disruption, the Chief Justice remained composed and urged the lawyers present to continue with their arguments. “Don’t get distracted by all this. We are not distracted. These things do not affect me,” the CJI remarked.
The apex court’s security unit has initiated an inquiry into the incident. Further details about the lawyer and the possible motives behind the act are awaited.

Mumbai: Businessman Files Police Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital For Alleged Negligence Toward Elderly Mother
**Businessman Files Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital Over Alleged Negligence**
Haji Arafat Alamgir Shaikh, a businessman, former Chairman of the Maharashtra State Minority Commission, and BJP Transport Cell President, has lodged a police complaint against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital. The complaint accuses the hospital management and staff of gross negligence and mistreatment of his 71-year-old mother, Shama Shaikh, who was admitted for treatment.
**Background of the Case**
According to the complaint filed at VB Road Police Station, Shama Shaikh has been suffering from diabetes for five years and had previously experienced a paralysis attack. She was admitted to Fauziya Hospital on September 15 following complaints of vomiting.
**Alleged Fall Due to Safety Lapses**
On September 16, while asleep on her hospital bed, Shama Shaikh allegedly fell to the floor because the bed lacked safety railings. She sustained injuries to her face, eyes, stomach, legs, and knees. Haji Arafat claims that although a domestic aide sounded an alarm, no nurse or ward boy attended to her for nearly 20 minutes.
When the hospital staff finally did respond, the night doctor reportedly dismissed the incident saying, “These small things happen in hospitals. Shift the old woman, we’ll see in the morning.”
**Delayed Medical Attention**
Despite her injuries, Shaikh’s mother reportedly received no medical treatment for over 12 hours. No doctor attended to her until 10 a.m. the following day, by which time swelling and black marks had appeared on her face and under her eyes due to internal bleeding.
Haji Arafat further alleged that it was only after his family doctor, Sohail Khan, visited and insisted on immediate treatment that medical procedures were initiated.
**Accusations Against Hospital Staff**
The complaint names hospital director Dr. Anjum Deshmukh, administrator Usman Shaikh, and duty nurses Amisha Mali and Pratima Gupta as responsible for the negligence. Additionally, Riyaz Shaikh, a hospital staff member who arrived to conduct an X-ray 24 hours later, allegedly behaved rudely towards the elderly patient, reportedly saying in an insulting tone: “Eat later, don’t you understand? I don’t have time for this now.”
**Police Action**
Citing neglect, irresponsibility, and inhumane behavior, Haji Arafat filed a formal complaint at VB Road Police Station. Based on his statement, a case has been registered against the hospital’s directors and staff. The V. B. Marg Police have initiated further investigation into the matter.

This incident raises concerns about patient safety and the quality of care in healthcare institutions, underscoring the importance of strict adherence to medical protocols and compassionate treatment of elderly patients.

Mumbai Shocker! 18-Year-Old Found Eight Months Pregnant, Investigation Reveals Minor Boyfriend Involved; Booked Under Relevant Sections
**Mumbai Teen’s False Assault Claim Leads to Revelation of Underage Pregnancy**
In a shocking case from Mumbai, an 18-year-old girl who was found to be eight months pregnant during a medical examination at Cama Hospital initially gave a false statement to police in an attempt to protect her boyfriend. The matter came to light after doctors, suspecting she was underage, informed the police, prompting a detailed investigation.
**The Initial Misleading Claim**
According to the initial report, the victim stated that she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man while on a trip to Matheran with friends. She alleged that the man, despite knowing she was underage, forced himself on her at a lodge. Based on this account, the Matheran Police launched an investigation into the alleged assault.
**The Truth Unfolds**
The investigation took a turn when police interrogated the victim’s close friend. The friend confirmed that she and another companion had traveled to Matheran in July, but the victim had not accompanied them. This directly contradicted the victim’s earlier story.
When confronted with this evidence, the victim admitted in a supplementary statement recorded on September 25 that her initial account was fabricated.
**The Actual Sequence of Events**
The victim revealed that her 17-year-old boyfriend was responsible for her pregnancy. She stated that he had repeatedly engaged in sexual relations with her when she was still a minor, around January or February 2024, at his maternal uncle’s residence.
**Case Transfer and Charges**
Based on the revised statements and corroboration from her friends, investigators established that the offence took place within the jurisdiction of the Wadala TT Police Station. Consequently, the Matheran Police have officially transferred the case to Wadala TT Police for further investigation.
The 17-year-old boyfriend has been booked under relevant sections, and further inquiries are currently underway.

*Published: Oct. 3, 2025, 5:05 p.m. ET*

Prior to the judge’s ruling, Combs’ attorneys and supporters made impassioned pleas on his behalf, highlighting the rapper and entrepreneur’s troubled past and mental health challenges.
—
### Combs’ Lawyer Details Psychological Struggles
Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, urged the court to consider the impact of Combs’ past on his current situation. Speaking before the sentencing, Agnifilo revealed that Combs has long suffered from mental health issues.
“We are asking for a lot, a 14-month sentence, and I want to give the court some reasons,” Agnifilo said. He pointed to traumatic events in Combs’ childhood, specifically the murder of his father, as a significant factor.
“Sean Combs has genuine psychological challenges,” Agnifilo explained. “In 2014, 2017, and 2020, he reported to three different doctors, and he was diagnosed with PTSD.”
—
### Plans for Post-Release Engagements
Earlier in the day, another attorney representing Combs, Xavier Donaldson, spoke about his client’s plans following release. According to Donaldson, Combs already had community-focused speaking engagements scheduled.
“Contrary to what the government said, we do need something for him to do if he gets out today,” Donaldson shared. He described these commitments as “teaching” opportunities aimed at helping formerly convicted individuals prepare for life after prison.
“These are teaching engagements that we contacted them about if the court lets him out,” Donaldson added.
—
### Support From a Pastor
A Miami pastor also appeared in court to advocate for Combs’ release. Rev. Gary Johnson emphasized that incarceration would unlikely change Combs’ behavior or character.
“The government equates Sean Combs with a pimp. I want to be clear, Mr. Combs is not a pimp,” the pastor told the court. “A pimp is in the business of subjugating women; therefore, he should not and cannot be considered a pimp.”
Rev. Johnson continued, “As Michael Jordan said, these sneakers are just sneakers – but when Sean does things, he turns them into opportunities. Sean needs an opportunity. I am asking you to give him to us, and we won’t let you down.”
—
### Combs’ Emotional Statement
In a heartfelt statement prior to sentencing, Combs addressed the court directly, expressing remorse for his actions.
“One of the hardest things I’ve had to handle was having to be quiet and not being able to express how sorry I am for my actions,” he said.
Combs apologized specifically to Cassie Ventura, acknowledging any emotional or physical harm he caused her.
“I want to personally apologize to Cassie Ventura for any harm I have caused her emotionally or physically. I don’t take that lightly. I would like to apologize to her family. I am so sorry. I would like to apologize to Jane. I’m sorry. I brought you into my mess,” he added.
He described his behavior as “disgusting, shameful, and sick,” admitting struggles with substance abuse.
“I was sick, sick from the drugs. I was out of control, I needed help, and I didn’t get the help, and I cannot make no excuse because my mother taught me,” Combs continued. “I got lost in my dream of life. I am not this larger-than-life person. I am just a human being. I was trying my best, I got lost in my excess.”
—
### Guilty Verdict
Before his sentencing, Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, charges that have added to the gravity of his legal battle.

This case highlights the complex intersections of celebrity, mental health, and the legal system, bringing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ personal struggles into the public eye as he begins his prison sentence.
