What is going on in India? It's so sad he even needed to present a case at all. And for such an average name!
Reading decisions like this drive me crazy. I own prana dot in and co.in pointing to my site, maybe I should file a suit? Then India can give me all the domains with "prana" in them.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, all other 3 letter .IN domains ARE confusingly similar to mine, so I'll get IIN, ISN, IGN, INN, IPN, hey why not ZDN, QDN, JDN too? Perfect.

Of course, your scenario makes a good headline... Big Bazaar Battle Brews

Hey, there is a Big Bazaar battle going on but it's between Pantaloon and another Indian company. Pantaloon is contesting the trademark Reliance Big Bazar for clothing, footwear, headgear, games and toys. See:

Pantaloon: 1 ‘a’ or 2, the name’s mine

Wow, Pantaloon's lawyers are on the warpath! They seem to be extremely aggressive.
