Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the appeal of Skyline Education Institute against the use of the name 'Skyline' by Satilila Charitable Society, affirming that the respondents could continue using the name in their educational activities. The Court noted that the appellant's Memorandum of Association allowed for a broad range of business activities, which did not preclude the respondents from using a similar name. The Court also confirmed the High Court's directive preventing the respondents from offering courses similar to those of the appellant, thereby balancing trademark rights with educational competition.
