The defendants agreed to adopt new marks as GRAND VIHAN Vacations Private Limited and\/or GRAND VIHAN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The grievance of the Defendant is a company known by the name &#8216;Grand Vivanta Vacations Private Limited&#8217; located at New Delhi, running a resort under the name &#8216;The Lazy Haven Resort, Jim Corbett National Park, Kyari Bandobasti, Tehsil Ramnagar, Uttarakhand&#8217;.
