Lodha brothers agree to go for mediation to resolve dispute over ‘Lodha’ trademark

Bombay High Court directs Lodha brothers to mediate trademark dispute, involving BJP leader's sons, with former SC Justice as mediator.
The Bombay High Court on Friday (January 31, 2025) directed businessmen brothers Abhishek Lodha and Abhinandan Lodha to go for mediation to resolve their disputes over the use of the “Lodha” trademark.
After the HC suggested to both parties earlier this week to attempt an amicable resolution, the brothers on Friday told a single bench of Justice Arif Doctor they were willing to go for mediation.
The Lodha brothers are the sons of BJP leader and Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha.
The bench appointed former Supreme Court Justice R.V. Raveendran as the mediator and said an endeavour shall be made to complete the proceedings in five weeks.
“If the mediator feels there has been a positive progress then the time shall stand extended. If the mediation fails then the matter shall be placed for interim relief on March 21,” the court said.
The bench said the mediation shall be first conducted between the brothers and if required, the other parties concerned shall be roped in later.
“If there is a resolution between Defendants 5 and 16 (Lodha brothers) then won't everything else fall to the ground. It will have a domino effect. Having more people who would put spanner in the works may derail the proceedings,” Justice Doctor said.
