The application was filed under Order XXXIX Rule 1 and 2 CPC seeking an injunction to restrain the defendants from manufacturing and selling, advertising, etc. of any products and services bearing the trademark and logo MOROCCANOIL by itself or any variant or any other trademark or trade name or domain.

Moroccanoil was represented by Pravin Anand, Prachi Agarwal and Ridhie Bajaj.
