Lenskart Solutions Limited filed a commercial suit against Mr. Chetan Govind Vhand alleging trademark infringement through the defendant's use of a deceptively similar mark in business operations, seeking injunction and other reliefs. The procedural background involves the plaintiff filing multiple interim applications for exemptions and permissions at the outset of the suit, including for filing additional documents, waiving pre-institution mediation due to urgency, exempting advance service to the defendant to prevent concealment of infringing activities, and extending time for court fees payment. The core dispute centers on the alleged infringement of the plaintiff's trademark rights, with concerns over the defendant potentially disposing of or hiding evidence of such infringement. The court granted all requested exemptions and permissions, allowing the suit to proceed with urgent ex-parte considerations, exemption from mediation citing the need for immediate interim relief as per Supreme Court precedent, permission to file additional documents, waiver of advance notice to the defendant, and a two-week extension for court fees.
