Madhampatty Thangavelu Hospitality Private Limited has approached the Madras High Court to restrain costume designer Joy Crizildaa, who claims to have married one of the directors of the catering company, from disparaging the “goodwill and reputation” of the unregistered trademark ‘Madhampatty Pakashala.’
Justice N. Senthilkumar, on Tuesday (September 9, 2025), ordered notice, returnable by September 16, to the costume designer in a civil suit filed by the catering company and permitted the company’s counsel on record Vijayan Subramanian to issue private notice too to her since the case was scheduled to be heard next within a week.
Brand reputation
During the course of arguments, senior counsel P.S. Raman, representing the plaintiff company, said it was incorporated on August 30, 2010 and made a mark in the catering and food services business under the brand name ‘Madhampatty Pakashala.’ It had become very popular over the years.
Stating its popularity was due to the hard work of individuals involved in the business and the quality of food served by them, the senior counsel said the company had also invested a substantial sum of money to create awareness among the public with regard to its high quality catering service.
