¶34

respondent submits that since the present case is purely on a Trademark issue where the petitioner relying on the documents that are in no way connected to the issue on trademark in dispute.

¶35

There is a substantial force in the arguments made on the side of the respondent as these documents relate to a suit papers, if the petitioner wants to confront the respondent, it is always open for them to put the same in the cross examination while the witness on the box.

¶36

At this juncture, the learned counsel for the applicant submits that the deposition in Serial No.7 may be marked as there are certain relevance which cannot be disclosed at this point of time, as it would cause
