The Delhi High Court has restrained the unauthorised use of name, images and other aspects pertaining to renowned surgeon and chairman Narayana Health, Dr Devi Prasad Shetty.
According to the PTI report, Justice Mini Pushkarna, in an order protecting the personality rights of the medical practitioner, further restrained the infringement of the “Narayana Hrudayalaya” trademarks.
