Similarly, composite sketches (<em>portrait parl\u00e9<\/em>) are merely investigative tools rather than substantive evidence, admissible solely under Sections 145 and 157 (now Sections 148 and 160 BSA) to corroborate or contradict eyewitness credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/delhi-high-court-on-trademark-priority-earlier-filing-date-prevails-over-subsequent-commercial-use-parle-products-v-registrar-of-trade-marks-2026\/\">Delhi High Court on Trademark Priority: Earlier Filing Date Prevails Over Subsequent Commercial Use | Parle Products v Registrar of Trade Marks (2026)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/parle-products-vs-jp-co-deceptive-similarity-trademark-infringement-judgment\/\">Parle Products v.
