Delhi High Court orders takedown of website using Experion’s marks

The Delhi High Court on 16 October 2026 restrained the operator of experionemerellereserve.in from using Experion Developers Pvt Ltd’s trademarks and directed the domain registrar to disable the website within 72 hours of receiving notice. The order, passed by Justice Tejas Karia, applies to the website and those acting on the operator’s behalf until the next hearing.

Experion brought the suit against Ishu Singh, identified in the case as the apparent website registrant, and Endurance International Group India Pvt Ltd, the domain registrar. The court granted the developer’s application for an ad-interim injunction. This is temporary relief granted before the parties’ claims are finally decided.

What the order restrains

The injunction bars the operator and anyone acting on its behalf from using the EXPERION word mark or logos, including the name EXPERION EMERELLE RESERVE, or any identical or deceptively similar mark. The restriction applies online and offline, including use as a trademark or domain name, until the next date of hearing.

The court said the use of the EXPERION mark and the name of the upcoming project on the website was prima facie dishonest. In this context, prima facie means that the court found an initial basis for the claim at this stage, without making a final determination. The court noted that the website appeared to use the developer’s goodwill and reputation and could cause confusion in the market.

Experion told the court that it had not authorised the operator to act as a channel partner. The developer also said it had only recently applied for RERA registration for the project and had not advertised it or disclosed project details on its website or elsewhere. The disputed site, however, displayed project information, prominently used Experion’s mark and described itself as an authorised channel partner.

Registration remains a separate issue

The court noted that Experion was the registered proprietor of the trademarks and had used them continuously since 2011, building goodwill and reputation. The order protects those marks against the use alleged in the suit; it does not decide whether Experion Emerelle Reserve has received project approvals or RERA registration.

A Haryana RERA public notice lists an application for registration of Experion Emerelle Reserve in Sector 88A, Gurugram. The notes do not establish that registration has been granted. Buyers considering the project should treat the website dispute and the registration process as separate matters, and check the project’s status directly with Haryana RERA before making commitments.

Next court dates

The suit is scheduled to be listed before the Joint Registrar on 22 December 2026 for completion of service and pleadings, and before the court on 3 February 2027. The injunction remains in force until the next hearing, while the registrar’s 72-hour compliance period begins on receipt of notice. The next step for the parties is to comply with the order and address the claims in the court proceedings.
