It has recently come to the attention of M/s Speciality Restaurants Limited that
certain unknown individuals and entities have been unlawfully misusing the
Company's name, logo, trademarks and GST credentials to create and circulate
fraudulent websites, online platforms, social media pages, Telegram and WhatsApp
groups, and other digital material purporting to offer investment schemes, affiliate
marketing programmes or financial incentives in the name of the Company. In
particular, websites operating under the domain names
"www.specialityculinary.com",”http://www.specialityculinary.com”,“www.specialityproje
ct.com”, “http://www.specialityproject.com” and such other unverified online portals
have been found to have copied, reproduced and monetised proprietary content from
our official website, www.speciality.co.in (https://www.speciality.co.in), in blatant
violation of our intellectual property rights as well as applicable civil and criminal
laws. These platforms are often accessible only through invitation links or codes,
evidently with the intent of evading detection and scrutiny.
Speciality Restaurants Limited places on record that it does not, whether directly or
indirectly, operate, authorise, endorse or participate in any scheme requiring
members of the public to deposit money, undertake paid promotional activity, review
products or services for commissions, or engage in any manner of financial or
investment arrangement promising returns. Any person or entity claiming association
with the Company in relation to such schemes is doing so fraudulently and without
authority. Members of the public are cautioned that any dealings with such
unauthorised websites, individuals or groups are undertaken entirely at their own
risk, and Speciality Restaurants Limited, its Directors and its employees shall not be
held responsible for any loss, damage or consequences arising therefrom.
The Company has already initiated formal cybercrime complaints before the National
Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and the Mumbai Cyber Cell, in addition to filing a
written complaint with the local police, and shall continue to pursue all remedies
available in law to prevent misuse of its name and safeguard the public interest. The
public at large is hereby advised to access information relating to the Company only
through its official website, www.speciality.co.in (https://www.speciality.co.in), and to
refrain from clicking on or engaging with any other links, websites or digital content
purporting to represent the Company without verification. Any person attempting to
circulate defamatory, misleading or malicious material against the Company on
account of dealings with such fraudulent third parties shall do so entirely at their own
risk and peril and may render themselves liable to appropriate civil and criminal
action.
This notice is issued in the interest of public awareness and to reaffirm the
Company's commitment to protecting its patrons, customers, stakeholders and the
integrity of its brand.
