The petitioner filed a writ petition seeking a direction to the Registrar of Trade Marks to expeditiously decide his pending trademark application for the word mark 'AMAM' in Class 25 and the associated opposition filed by the respondent, after the hearing had concluded and written submissions were filed but no decision was pronounced despite significant delay. The court issued notice only to the Registrar, dispensed with notice to the opposing party given the limited nature of relief sought, and without examining the merits of the trademark claim or opposition, disposed of the petition by directing the Registrar to decide the application and opposition as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months.
- **Law settled:** In writ petitions seeking mandamus for expeditious disposal of pending trademark opposition proceedings where hearing is complete and submissions filed but decision is unduly delayed, courts may direct the Registrar to decide the matter within a reasonable fixed timeframe without delving into merits, to ensure timely adjudication. (Para 3, 8-9)
