The case of colgate law
Mr. Rohra with his complain
 Complainant Satish Rohra, a resident of Idgah
 Hills, Bhopal, filed a complaint against the petitioner-
 Company, its officers and Directors contending that the
 petitioner-Company is the manufacturer of the Colgate
 Dental Cream.
Issues….
      The Carton of the tooth paste bears the statement that it
    stops "bad breath" and "fights tooth decay" and that the
    product is a 'non-fluoridated foaming tooth paste', whereas
    it is a well known scientific fact that among all the
    inorganic ingredients of tooth paste the only substance that
    may play a role in fighting tooth decay prevention of
    cavities is flouride.
Continued…..
     The descriptions were pertaining to standard of quality and the
    petitioners wrongly claimed their product to behave in a manner
    in which it was incapable of performing. Complainant claimed
    that the aforesaid description was false and misleading and the
    said false trade description had been deliberately applied with
    common intent to increase sales of the tooth paste. He averred
    that all the accused were financially benefiting from the sale of
    these illicit products. Thus, the non-petitioner/complainant prayed
    that the petitioners be punished for the commission of offences
    under the provisions of Sections 78 and 79 of the Trade and
    Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 and under Section 420 of the
    Indian Penal Code.
Facts To Be Considered
 Whether compensation by way of damages can be
  adequate remedy.
 Whether balance of convenience lies in favour of granting
  the injunction.
 Whether there are chances of success of the plaintiff in the
  case.
 Whether non-issue of injunction will result in irreparable
  loss to plaintiff.
Final Decisions
  After hearing all the parties and after examination of such
  witnesses the commission by order direct that:
 The practice shall be discontinued or shall not be
  repeated.
    The agreement relating thereto shall be void in respect
  of such restrictive trade practice or shall stand modified in
  respect thereof in such manner as may be specified in the
  order.
