The petitioner is an accused for the offences
punishable under Sections 486, 420, 467, 468, 471 of
the Indian Penal Code and Sections 102, 103, 104 of the
Trademark Act, 1999 and Sections 63 and 64 of the
Copyright (Amendment) Act, 1957. The main allegation
against the petitioner is that he has been
manufacturing and selling ayurvedic medicines on a
brand name of another ayurvedic medicine company.
The main contention of the learned counsel appearing
for the petitioner is that as far as the offences
relating to Trademark and Copyright are concerned, the
maximum punishment is 03 years. The petitioner is
already in custody for the last 03 years and 05 months.
His bail application is pending before the High Court
since 16.07.2022, i.e. since last more than 03 years.
We are pained at the state of affairs and the long
delay in disposal of a bail petition. We have seen the
ordersheets of the High Court. For the last three
years, there have been no effective hearing of this
case.
