Delhi High Court Orders Withdrawal of Bombay Shaving Company Ad in Gillette Dispute
The Delhi High Court directed Bombay Shaving Company to withdraw an advertisement depicting a courtroom scene, which Gillette India challenged as disparaging. The court rejected proposed modifications and warned against republishing the ad in its current form. Gillette was allowed to request influencers to remove related posts, though the court advised approaching intermediaries first. Bombay Shaving Company complied by removing the ad and references to the court from its platforms. A new advertisement by Bombay Shaving Company is under judicial consideration following Gillette's objections.
