Learned counsel for the petitioner invited this Court's attention to page no.6 of the petition, wherein the relevant provision of Section 23 is reproduced and based thereupon contended that the plain meaning of the language employed would indicate that there exists statutory mandates upon the authorities to register the trade mark within time limit framed thereunder and in the instant case the objections were overruled on 14.03.2012. As per the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner trade mark could have been straightway registered thereafter, unfortunately, without there being any stay in appellate proceedings the respondent no.2 is not registering the trade mark.
Let there be a notice for final disposal, returnable on 02.05.2012. Direct service is permitted.
