NEW DELHI: Holding that "freedom of expression" can't be stifled, the Delhi HC on Friday refused to grant an interim injunction to the Tata Group against an online game "Turtle vs Tata" run by Greenpeace India. Justice S Ravindra Bhat dismissed Tata's plea for interim injunction on the game, launched last year by the famous environmental NGO, to spread awareness about an alleged threat posed by Tata's Dhamra port in Orissa to a sensitive ecosystem that is home to the endangered Olive Ridley turtles. It is a parody of the famous PACMAN online game but shows the Tata symbols as demons.
High court said it "prima-facie" saw no case of trademark infringement by Greenpeace's decision to host such a game online, as it was being used for a completely non-commercial purpose.
