Sir, ("$?•
I-am directed to refer to your letter No
172-18/164, dated the 3rd Pehruary 1943,and to say
that ajpart from the articles of the Bahrain Order
in Council and the Muscat Order in 'Council cnoted,
the I.P .O. runs in "both the places, and under the
relevaiat sections of the Code it is not necessary
for a mark to he "registered" for a criminal offence
in rel ation to it to "be committee . So far therefore
as criminal proceedings provide a protection, protection
seems to exist.

2. 'The question of civil relief is however more
oibscure. It is stated that a sjrstem of registration
is in vogue, hut it is not clear under what provision
of la fr,since the Indian Registration Act/Is not in
force in these places. Unless the Registration has
a lega 1 "basis, it would seem that there exists no
remedy in an action for infringement of a registration
mark. An action for passing off under common law
wouljLi however appear to lie (as opposed to an action
for eh infringement) hut here it. is necessary to prove
that iactual damage has accrued from the passing off.
3 The Government of India would be glad to know the
t^is for the existing system of registration, and whether
there have been any claims for civil relief of such a
"registered" mark or of any other, and how they resulted.
I have the honour to be, &c.
