He had moved the NCLT following termination of the license by McDonald&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s in its plea in the high court has contended that the franchisee restaurants were using products and packaging which did not measure up to its quality standards as different suppliers were being used.<\/p>\n<p>The fast food company has sought orders restraining CPRPL and Bakshi from &#8220;duplicating the McDonald&#8217;s system&#8221; which pertains to its food and packaging quality standards.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s India had asked CPRPL not to use its brand system, trademark, designs and associated intellectual property among other things, within 15 days of the termination notice which expired on September 6, 2017, the plea has said.<\/p>\n<p>The petition has alleged that CPRPL has not paid royalties, amounting to over Rs 61 crore, for the last two years and sought a direction to it for payment of the amount with interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt Ltd (CPRPL), a McDonald&#8217;s franchisee, today told the Delhi High Court that the US fast-food giant&#8217;s plea to stop it from using the brand name was an abuse of the process of law.
