This legal victory marks a pivotal moment in safeguarding the intellectual property of Indian designers.
The Case Background

Thus counterfeit garments surfaced on various platforms, including social media, worn by public figures such as comedian Kapil Sharma, influencer Orry, and rapper Badshah. Afterall imitations were sold at a fraction of the original price, undermining the value of Mishra’s creations.
Court’s Ruling and Implications
The Delhi High Court’s injunction prohibits the manufacture, sale, and distribution of counterfeit versions of Mishra’s designs.

Thus Justice Tejas Karia emphasized the need to protect original works to maintain the integrity of the fashion industry.
Mishra’s Statement
In response to the ruling, Mishra expressed that the fight extends beyond protecting fabric and design. Finally he highlighted that it is about preserving the dignity of handcraft, protecting livelihoods, and safeguarding the creative spirit that elevates Indian fashion on the global stage. Therefore Mishra’s statement underscores the broader implications of design theft on the cultural and economic aspects of fashion.
