New Delhi: Khadi India has threatened to sue Fabindia, a chain of ethnic wear retail outlets, for allegedly indulging in “unfair trade practice” by using and selling its cotton products unauthorisedly under its registered brand name “Khadi”.
Khadi & Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has sent a legal notice to Fabindia Overseas Pvt Ltd asking it to immediately stop using Khadi word from all its cotton products and remove display banners from its showrooms immediately alleging that Khadi India’s brand name was unlawfully used to mislead and confuse the consumers.
