The petitioner, a US-based business that was first established in 1954 as BURGER KING, is the second-largest short-carrier hamburger company in the world, with more than 18,000 outlets across 100 countries and 11 million daily customers. The Burger King logo was originally registered in India in 2010, and since 1979, it has been registered in 122 countries. In India, it started by strolling through more than 250 eateries in 2014. In 2011, the petitioner became aware of respondent no. 1’s class 43 trademark software, to which the registry had objected on the grounds that the petitioner’s mark was used. Despite applying for notice, the respondent’s mark became registered in 2016 without the petitioner’s knowledge. As a result of the petitioner’s infringement complaint, a 2014 injunction order was upheld in 2018.
Recently, the parliamentary punitive committee has made a proposal in the parliament to allow the children born in prison to stay with their mothers until the age of twelve instead of the current six years to ensure their well-being and growth. Well this will be a great step only if the children in the prison are not being deprived of the facilities and rights which they are entitled to and their stay in the prison is not prejudicing them being part of the society.
‘The current policy allows children under the age of six to remain in the prison with their mothers; children older than six, if no family member is prepared to care for them, are sent to institutions managed by the State’s Women and Child Welfare Department.’
Essentially, this asks if staying with the mother is better for the child. Children of incarcerated parents are the most vulnerable group of the society. Many times they have been disentitled to certain basic provisions because of their parent’s involvement in an offending behavior.
The latest Prison Statistics India Report 2020, states that as of December 31, 2020, there were 1,427 women prisoners with 1,628 children, among the total 20,046 women prisoners countrywide. Of this number, 1,184 women prisoners were under trial prisoners accompanied by 1,345 children and 214 convicted prisoners, who were accompanied by 246 children.
