New Delhi : The Delhi High Court Monday restrained a person from using the website domain name of Anil Ambani following a complaint by the industrialist that someone was spreading false and misleading information about his group.
The court restrained the squatter from using a website with the domain name www.anilambani.com, saying it was a deliberate attempt to harm Ambani’s business interests and transferred the domain name to him.
“Considering the material placed on record by Anil Ambani and the website created by the defendant, I consider that the use of domain name ‘anilambani’ by the defendant was a deliberate attempt to play mischief,” Justice S.N. Dhingra said.
“There can be no other purpose of the defendant in creating a website in the name of the complainant except to harm him and his business interest,” the court held while transferring the domain name.
The lawsuit filed by Ambani through his counsel Pratibha Maninder Singh, sought to restrain one Ram Prakash Sood from using the domain name or transferring it to any third party.
The website contained false information in respect of business ventures and business strategies of Anil Ambani.
Counsel Singh contended that Anil Ambani is a business tycoon and is running several well-known companies.
