Is it mandatory to have trademark registration completed to sue someone on 'domain name passing off' case?
Since it takes 2-3 years to get trademark registered,can a company having similar domain name be asked to stop using that name?

Vishal,
Domain name is available for anybody to use, on a first come first basis. Applying for a trademark registration can esnure you can use it as a brand name. It will not give right / ownership to domain name.
Feel free to contact me, if you need further details.
