Dear Sir/Ma’am,
Subject: Intimation regarding the order passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh in the
patent infringement suit – Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015
With reference to the Company's earlier disclosure dated 29 July 2023 regarding the patent infringement
proceedings initiated by SML Limited before the Hon’ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh in COMS No. 7 of
2023 and OMP No. 324 of 2023, we wish to inform you that the Hon’ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh has
passed an order dated 15 October 2026 dismissing the application filed by SML Limited seeking interim
injunction against the Company and the other defendant.
The proceedings relate to allegations of patent infringement concerning the Company's agrochemical product,
ZeekaSulf™.
The Hon’ble Court, while considering the application for interim relief, observed that the material placed on
record did not prima facie establish territorial jurisdiction in Himachal Pradesh. The Court also noted the absence
of sufficient evidence establishing that the Company had supplied the product to the concerned retailer in
Himachal Pradesh. Accordingly, the application seeking interim injunction was dismissed.
It is pertinent to note that the aforesaid order relates to the application for interim relief and does not constitute a
final adjudication on the merits of the alleged patent infringement. The main suit remains pending before the
Hon’ble Court.
The Company will continue to take appropriate steps in accordance with law and in consultation with its legal
advisors.
The details of the aforesaid order, as required under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with the applicable SEBI circulars, are provided in Annexure
We request you to take the above information on record.
Thanking you,
For Dharmaj Crop Guard Limited,
