They argued that Choudhary's activities did not infringe trademark laws and emphasized that the film's release would not violate Choudhary's trademark. The court ruled and clarified that Dharma Productions' naming of the movie 'Jigra' did not constitute an infringement upon Choudhary's trademark rights. This decision follows a complaint from the owners of the Arsalan trademark, which operates 11 outlets in Kolkata, including the original one in Park Circus.

The Court observed that Roche's patents were still pending and granting an injunction would conflict with the Patents Act, 1970.
