I've seen only a few INDRP costs awards (for example in
Evian.in and
Armani.co.in). In the recent decision involving
Puratos.in the Arbitrator directed that the Respondent pay Rs 10,000 to the Complainant and Rs 40,000 to NIXI.
While I agree that this is an obvious trademark infringement case, don't you find it strange to see an arbitrator use such strong words in a decision:
Quote:

...cyber squatting and as cost of this proceedings for burdening the administration to full fill his dirty ulterior motives. In the facts and circumstances of this case this tribunal further directs the registry of NIXI to take adequate precaution in entertaining such complaints and send a copy of this decision to the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi at New Delhi to take further actions against the miscreants as this tribunal cannot go beyond its jurisdiction.
