RIL also alleged that the misuse of their trademark was misleading a number of innocent job seekers who are also being falsely charged money in the name of fake jobs.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday restrained OLX India and Quikr India from posting on their web portals fake recruitment advertisements in the name of RIL.
Justice Mukta Gupta, in two separate interim orders, said RIL and Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd have made out a prima facie case in their favour and in case no ad-interim injunction is granted they would suffer an irreparable loss and balance of convenience also lies in their favour.
