Bombay Court Rejects PIL Against Prada's Kolhapuri Chappals
Published on 7.16.25
The Bombay High Court dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) by six lawyers against Prada for allegedly misusing Kolhapuri chappals, stating that only registered Geographical Indication (GI) rights holders can take legal action. The court questioned the petitioners' locus, as they were not the aggrieved persons or owners of the footwear.
