NEW DELHI: The Hon’ble Delhi High Court has issued an interim order in favor of renowned designer Anupama Dayal, recognizing a prima facie case of substantial similarity between her original designs and the contested products of the defendant.
Protecting the sanctity of creative intellectual property, the Court has directed an immediate cessation of the impugned designs. Furthermore, the defendant is required to provide full disclosure regarding the manufacture and distribution of the products in question while the matter remains sub judice.
The ruling marks a significant moment for the Indian fashion industry, emphasizing the legal necessity of respecting original craftsmanship.
“This has always been about protecting original creative work and reinforcing respect for independent design,” said Anupama Dayal. “I remain committed to safeguarding creative integrity—not only for myself, but for the broader community of designers and artisans who rely on fair recognition of their work.”
As the legal proceedings continue in accordance with due process, this interim relief serves as a vital step in curbing design infringement. Further updates will be shared as the case progresses
