While an initial suit was dismissed, a recent appeal saw a partial allowance by the Madras High Court, though damages relief was denied. The company is considering an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Litigation can impact a company's reputation and financial resources, even if the immediate financial impact is mitigated by the dismissal of damages.
The court's decision was a partial allowance, which is not entirely favorable nor entirely unfavorable. The company is considering a further appeal, indicating uncertainty.
Matrimony.com Limited has disclosed an update regarding a legal proceeding initiated by M/s Free Elective Network Private Limited. The plaintiff had filed a Suit for Injunction and other reliefs against Matrimony.com Limited, alleging infringement of their mark Jodi365 before the Madras High Court.
The initial Suit was dismissed by the Hon’ble High Court on July 14, 2022. However, in an appeal filed against this dismissal, the Hon’ble Division Bench of the Madras High Court, by an order dated August 11, 2026, has partially allowed the appeal. While the appeal was partially allowed, the relief sought for damages was dismissed.
Based on legal advice received, Matrimony.com Limited is contemplating filing an appeal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India against this order.
