New Delhi, April 19 -- Bringing an end to one of India's longest-running trademark battles, the Delhi District Court at Tis Hazari has ruled on the 33-year-old dispute surrounding the popular confectionery brand, Chatmola.

The legal feud, which began in 1992, was a deeply personal one--rooted in a family conflict between two brothers over rights to the Chatmola trademark.

The original litigant, Pritam Dass, passed away during the proceedings, leaving his son, Anil Kumar Gera, to carry the case forward. Opposing them was Ramesh Chander, who was just 37 years old when the case started and has continued to manufacture and sell his products under the trade mark Chatmola alongside his son, Rajat Gera.
