The Delhi High Court has granted an exparte injunction against askme.in ordering them to stop business and ordering the seizing of their machines and storage after justdial filed a case against them. From what I understand from googling[1], an ex parte injunction is a court order granted after hearing only one party in matters of great urgency, without notice to the defendant or other parties.
This doesn't bode well for the start up climate in India. Soesn't this mean that any established company could sue me and my machines would be seized pending the results of the case.

- hga 17y agoYes, ex parte anything means the judge(s) only listened to one side of a dispute, and as one of the Just Dial people noted, they're rare. For this sort of case, unheard of in the US. It does sound very bad, especially given that Indian courts aren't noted for speed.
- shantanu_k06 17y agoCould this be due to bribery, or political connection?
- hga 17y agoThe question answers itself, I'd say.

- DannoHung 17y agoIn India? Doesn't seem unreasonable. I've heard Indian coworkers practically brag about how corrupt their officials are.
- paraschopra 17y agoI doubt that. High court (and law offices, in general) are clean in India.

- FraaJad 17y agoYou may want to be weary of those co-workers of yours. People who think they can get away with anything because they have "connections" are corrupt themselves. /an Indian.
- DannoHung 17y ago"practically brag" is a bit of a colloquialism. It doesn't mean that they were proud of it, just emphatically suggesting that something is true.
- ahk 17y agoHmm, would the company have its DR/backup servers seized as well? And what if the servers are in the US or cloud-based?
