Delhi High Court Summons Woodland MD Over Seized Shoes in Trademark Dispute

The Delhi High Court has summoned Woodland (Aero Club) Pvt Ltd’s Managing Director, Harkirat Singh, and Senior Manager, Madan Kalra, after Speedways Tyre Treads claimed that shoes seized on allegations of counterfeiting were actually manufactured under Woodland’s own purchase orders. 

Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora noted that Woodland was unable to clarify whether the seized stock, valued at around ₹30 lakh, was counterfeit or genuine. 

The Court directed Woodland to deposit ₹30 lakh, and asked both officers to file personal affidavits explaining why relevant correspondence was not disclosed when seeking the injunction.

The case will be heard next on December 23.
