In Tata Sons Ltd v Manoj Dodia (Delhi High Court, 2011), the defendant made and sold weighing scales…

The Court awarded "punitive damages amounting to Rs.2 Lacs" against Manoj Dodia, explaining that one purpose of such damages "is to deter those who may be waiting in the wings" and that token damages would not serve that purpose. The defendant's absence did not prevent relief, since the suit was decided on the plaintiff's evidence.
