Abstract

This paper looks at the Comparative Advertising regime prevailing in India through the eyes of a prominent case. The case adjudicated two competing advertisements for drinking health supplements and reaffirms that while ads may compare products, they must do so in a manner that does not disparage or lay false claims against its competition.
