Delhi High Court Reserves Decision on Jurisdiction in HUL-Beco Advertising Dispute
The Delhi High Court has reserved its decision on whether it has territorial jurisdiction over Hindustan Unilever Limited's (HUL) suit against Kwick Living, owner of the Beco brand, concerning an advertising dispute. HUL argues that Beco's online sales to Delhi consumers establish a commercial link justifying jurisdiction, while Beco contends that mere website accessibility does not target Delhi specifically. The court will decide the jurisdiction issue before considering any interim relief requests.
