Delhi High Court restrains Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV from using ‘News Hour’ title

MUMBAI: The Delhi High Court has granted an interim injunction in favour of Bennett, Coleman & Co Ltd (BCCL) on Friday, refraining Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV from using ‘News Hour’ or anything deceptively similar to it.

A single judge bench of Justice Jayant Nath had passed the interim order.

BCCL, which owns Times Network as well as The Economic Times, had filed a civil suit in the Delhi High Court in 2017 seeking a permanent injunction against Arnab Goswami’s ARG Outlier Media, the company which runs Republic TV, from using their trademarks ‘News Hour’ and ‘Nation Wants to Know’ or any other derivatives or combinations of these words.
