pending disposal of the suit.
In all applications For Applicant(s):
Ms.Reshma Rajagopal for M/s.MS Bharath Order At the hearing on 28.01.2026, the Registry was directed to print the name of the respondent in the cause list. The name of the respondent is printed in the cause list for today's hearing. The respondent, however, continues to remain unrepresented.
2. While granting an ad interim injunction on 05.01.2026, it was recorded, in relevant part, as under:
"3. Learned counsel for the plaintiff invited my attention to the registration of the word mark BOUNCE in Class 44 in relation to hygiene and beauty care. He also points out that multiple word and device mark registrations were obtained by the plaintiff by asserting use since 12.02.2004. He next invited my attention to the impugned mark HAIR BOUNCE UNISEX SALON. In spite of issuance of cease and desist notice before filing the suit, he submits that the defendant did not even respond thereto.
4. The plaintiff has placed on record evidence that it is the prior user of the mark BOUNCE from 12.02.2004. The defendant's marks contain the word BOUNCE. Both the plaintiff and the defendant are engaged in the provision of identical services.
5. Considering the aforesaid, it is likely that the usage of the impugned marks would cause confusion or deception to the relevant section of the public. Unless restrained at this juncture, it is also likely that irreparable hardship would be caused to the plaintiff. Therefore, the order of interim injunction as prayed for in these two applications is granted until the next date of hearing."
3. For reasons set out above and in view of the respondent continuing to remain unrepresented in these proceedings, the order of interim injunction in O.A.Nos.1147 to 1149 of 2025 is made absolute and the said applications are disposed of.
