As per case facts, Sitarama Rao's family registered the DASAPRAKASH mark for ice creams, with a family arrangement allowing use under certain conditions. An MOU intended to transfer rights to
...the appellant company through K. Balakrishna Rao, who later became insolvent, making subsequent agreements void. Respondents sued for infringement after appellants continued using the mark. A Single Judge granted an interim injunction, upheld by the Division Bench, then remanded by the Supreme Court for reconsideration. A recent judgment found the transferor lacked authority and was insolvent. The question arose whether appellants had the legal right to use the DASAPRAKASH trade mark. Finally, the High Court found a *prima facie* infringement case, affirming the transfer agreement was void and appellants were not permitted users. The interim injunction against appellants' use of DASAPRAKASH for ice creams, restaurants, and allied services was upheld, pending the main suit.
