The case was initiated by Titan Company, which alleged that Lenskart was unlawfully using its brand names and metatags - keywords embedded in the website's code that influence search engine results - potentially misleading consumers and infringing on its intellectual property rights.

Titan sought a permanent injunction to prevent any further misuse and passing off of its trademarks.

Taking Lenskart's statement on record, the Court disposed of the suit through a consent decree. "In view of the aforesaid statement, the defendants do not wish to contest the present suit. Binding the defendants to the aforesaid statement, the suit is decreed," Justice Bansal ordered, the report added.
