Capital Foods Chings Secret Schezwan Chutney

In the ongoing trademark infringement case between Capital Foods and Radiant Indus Chem, Capital Foods has secured interim relief from the Delhi High Court’s Division Bench.

The court’s order, which was issued on January 25th, noted that Radiant Indus Chem had copied Capital Foods’ stylization, colour combination, trade dress, and copyrights in its advertising material for the ‘Schezwan Chutney’ product.

Capital Foods had originally trademarked the name ‘Schezwan Chutney’ for its Ching’s Secret brand in 2017. However, upon discovering that Radiant Indus Chem’s Mrs Food Rite brand was using the same name and design, Capital Foods filed a trademark infringement case at the Delhi High Court. In its case, Capital Foods claimed that Radiant Indus Chem not only breached the trademark but also duplicated its website contents and trade dress.

In the court hearing, Capital Foods argued that the ‘Schezwan Chutney’ name and design, which infuses the ‘Desi Chinese’ element, is unique to Ching’s Secret and has been developed over the years through extensive promotion in the Indian market. Capital Foods also highlighted its substantial investments in the product, including over Rs 273 crores spent on promotion between 2012-16, and sales worth over Rs 316 crores for the same product.

A Spokesperson of Capital food, said “Schezwan Chutney is not the category’s name. It is our brand name. Our rival brands can name their Schezwan products as sauce, dip, spread or whatever else but chutney. Schezwan Chutney as a name didn’t exist previously unless Ching’s first introduced it. We were the first to manufacture it commercially and term it ‘Schezwan Chutney’ in Mid of 2012. We have created a consumer base from nothing. Other rival brands cannot come in, copy us and ride on our success.”

In January 2023, a single judge bench of the Delhi High Court declined to grant an injunction, stating that the mark was simply a term describing the product. However, Capital Foods appealed to the Division Bench, citing the uniqueness of its trademark ‘Schezwan Chutney’ due to its popularity, large-scale sales, and the costs incurred by the company in advertising and promoting the product. The Division Bench ultimately granted interim relief to Capital Foods.

Coastal Fry, the latest restaurant venture by the renowned Golden Chimney Restaurant & Bar, is making waves in the food industry with its innovative approach to cloud kitchens. With the growing popularity of these kitchens, Coastal Fry offers customers the convenience of getting fresh and delicious meals delivered straight to their door.

The legacy of Coastal Fry is rooted in the story of Sadanand Café, which was established in 1955 by founder Sadanand Shetty. Over the years, Sadanand’s passion for cooking and delivering delicious food experiences has grown and transformed into the successful multi-cuisine family restaurant, Golden Chimney. Now, Sadanand’s expertise extends to coastal specialities, offering customers a unique and authentic dining experience.

Coastal Fry is known for its high-quality food and affordable pricing, continuing the legacy established by Golden Chimney. The restaurant offers a diverse menu of coastal specialities, carefully crafted by experienced chefs using only the freshest ingredients. From classic dishes like seafood curries to regional specialities like Konkani-style pomfret, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to its delicious food, Coastal Fry is also dedicated to providing an exceptional customer experience. With the convenience of cloud kitchens, ordering a meal has never been easier. Simply place your order online or through the restaurant’s mobile app, and you’ll have a fresh and delicious meal delivered straight to your door.

Sandeep Shetty, Founder of the Coastal Fry, said “We always felt that Mumbai needed a revamp in the seafood kitchen space. We at Coastal Fry have tried moving away from the basics and have introduced a variety of dishes and curries that have never been tasted before. Apart from dining in coastal restaurants, we felt there was a much bigger vacuum in the cloud kitchen market, and felt it was a much safer option to launch our brand in this segment; especially to keep up with the current market trend. Neat and simplistic packaging along with food that gives your taste buds a one-of-a-kind experience right at your doorstep has been our primary motto.”

“Since our cloud kitchen is unfortunately restricted to the radius of only South Mumbai at the moment, we hope that down the line we can open a cloud kitchen in the suburbs as well and then go beyond. All in all, if our brand gets the traction we hope it gets, we can create a sit-down restaurant of coastal fry and give our customers a much more engaging experience.”

So, if you’re looking for a truly authentic coastal food experience, look no further than Coastal Fry. With its legacy of great quality food, Coastal Fry is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a satisfying meal without having to leave their home.

Curd, also known as yogurt, is a dairy product that has been a staple in many cultures for thousands of years. Not only is it a nutritious food, but it also has many benefits for your hair. Let’s unveil the amazing benefits of using curd on your hair:

Provides Moisture:

One of the primary benefits of using curd on your hair is that it provides moisture. Our hair can become dry and damaged due to environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and wind. Dry hair is more prone to breakage and split ends, which can make it look dull and lifeless. Curd, on the other hand, is rich in fats and proteins that help to hydrate the hair shaft, making it smoother and shinier.

Helps to Condition Hair:

Another reason to use curd on your hair is that it can help to condition it. Conditioners are designed to help improve the texture of your hair and make it more manageable. Curd contains lactic acid, which is a gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells from the scalp. This helps to unclog hair follicles and prevent dandruff, which can cause itching and flaking. In addition, curd contains amino acids that help to strengthen the hair shaft and prevent breakage.

Promotes Hair Growth:

Curd is also known to promote hair growth. This is because it contains vitamins and minerals that are essential for hair health, such as B vitamins, calcium, and phosphorus. These nutrients help to stimulate the scalp and encourage the growth of new hair. In addition, curd contains lactic acid, which has been shown to increase blood flow to the scalp. This helps to nourish the hair follicles and promote hair growth.

Helps to Control Dandruff:

Dandruff is a common problem that affects many people. It can cause itching and flaking and can be embarrassing in social situations. Curd can help to control dandruff by removing dead skin cells from the scalp. In addition, it contains antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help to prevent the growth of yeast and bacteria that can cause dandruff.

Adds Shine to Hair:

Curd can also help to add shine to your hair. This is because it contains healthy fats that help to hydrate the hair shaft. In addition, curd contains lactic acid, which can help to remove dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles. This can result in a shinier and healthier-looking head of hair.

Soothes Scalp Irritation:

Finally, curd can help to soothe scalp irritation. This is because it contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and itching. In addition, the curd is gentle and non-irritating, making it an excellent choice for people with sensitive scalps.

Curd is an excellent natural ingredient that can help to improve the health and appearance of your hair. So why not give it a try and see for yourself how curd can help you get smoother and amazing hair naturally?
