Delhi High Court on Thursday refrained from passing an interim order on Britannia Industries Ltd’s plea challenging a single judge’s order restraining them from using the packaging of its ‘Nutri Choice Digestive Zero’ biscuits in its present form. Britannia sought an interim order as the counsel for ITC Ltd was not able to conclude his submission on Thursday and would continue on Friday. Earlier, Britannia had submitted that their business was affected due to the September 6 order of the single judge as manufacturing of the product has been stopped. In its appeal, Britannia, had submitted that the order was “erroneous” as the single judge had not considered the fact that their packaging was different from that of ITC’s. The single judge had granted four weeks to Britannia to phase out the existing stocks of ‘Nutri Choice Zero Digestive’ biscuits with the present packaging.
