Mumbai, June 18: Tea maker Girnar Food and Beverages Pvt. Ltd has dragged BigBasket to court for infringing its ‘Royal’ trademark. According to a report on Mint, Girnar has approached the court against two registered operating entities of BigBasket—SuperMarket Grocery Supplies Pvt. Ltd, the body that sources products and sells it to Innovative Retail—which runs the online grocery portal.

Girnar has accused that Big Basket is using the 'Royal' trademark to sell several products, including tea. The report quotes a person, who is close to the development of the news. The person said, “Big Basket is selling several products under the Royal brand, which includes grains, spices, honey and sugar. But Girnar has objected to the e-commerce start-up selling tea under the Royal brand. Girnar Food and Beverage sells several tea brands with many variants, but Royal Cup Tea is its flagship brand."

Reportedly, Girnar Foods had approached the court on March 7, and the matter will be heard on June 18.
