NEW DELHI: Homegrown FMCG major has initiated contempt proceedings against and its directors before Delhi high court for allegedly failing to adhere to the court’s order and undertaking given by Marico to change its honey packaging, which Dabur claimed was similar to its own.
A Marico spokesperson refuted the claims. “This is yet another frivolous attempt on the part of competition to stall the successful launch of Saffola Honey. In the past, too, Dabur has filed baseless cases in ASCI and other forums and Marico’s stand has been vindicated in all forums,” she said.
“No order of the court has been breached and no undertaking has been given by Marico in the matter and competition is falsely referring to voluntary changes made by Marico to its Saffola Honey packaging as an undertaking,” the spokesperson added.
The case has been listed for hearing on July 14, 2021.
