But Bajaj filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court challenging the high court verdict.

The apex court in Wednesday's verdict also directed TVS Motor to maintain all accounts of sales to be verified by a receiver to be appointed by the Madras High Court.

Reacting to the court order, Bajaj Auto vice president (business development) S. Ravikumar said: 'One will recall that the Division Bench of the Madras High Court on May 18, 2009 had allowed TVS appeals and decided prima facie that there was no infringement by TVS.'

'In our understanding, today's Supreme Court order has not accepted this view and has accordingly directed the High Court to complete the trial and pronounce its judgment by November 30.'
