There is no bar on using such names in Indian law, you cannot file a PIL, the court will strike of your petition as vexatious & frivilous and may also fine you.

Vishal is right.. you cannot say or object the named of the promoter provided the name not against sovereignty of India

Unfortunately it is allowed in India. In a country where we have not even our own language how can you expect from foreign companies to use the names of our country. Foreigners are not meant to glorify our names.

No law is here to restrict them so no case can be filed.

You can not file PIL or writ petition as there is no restrictions on using such names in Indian law.

There is no such prohibition under the Indian Law, so no use of filing any PIL.
