I'm pleased for him.
how were they 'lost'?

web.in and business.in were lost in INDRPs. It's interesting to me that business.in was not forfeited to the complainant, but rather went to non-registrable status (at least, that's what I think happened).

Read the case here (pdf):

Another note of interest from the INDRPs. The respondent (who never responded to the complaint) against runescape.in was ordered to pay 30,000 rupees legal costs to the complainant.

Interesting how according to that business.in decision, everyone who buys domains with the intent to sell them is a squatter. They need to get with the times. It was crap decisions like that that caused me to put a blog up on poker.in regarding poker in India before I ended up selling, because then they can't say I had no intent to use the name. He would have lost some parking revenues, but better than losing a 5-6 figure name.

To me, this is the most disturbing INDRP decision (for ndtv.co.in) --- no evidence of bad faith (in fact, the finding is that the registrant showed no intention to deceive the internet users of the Complainant) and that the domain is being used for an area of marketing different than the complainant's, but they still take the name anyway! Want to know what American domaining will be like if the Snowe Bill passes?

"It is held that:
- Both the element of bad faith registration and bad faith use are not established. The Respondent deals with other marketing area rather than that of Complainant.

- The Respondent has no relationship or connection with the business of
New Delhi Television Limited.

- Though the Respondent has no malafide intention to deceive the
internet users of Complainant, the misrepresentation is made in the
course of trade to unwary Internet users.

- There in no evidence that the Respondent has purchased the domain
on account of bad faith.

- By relying on judgement of Supreme Court of India in Satyam
Infoway Ltd. vs. Sifynet Solutions Pvt. Ltd. reported in AIR 2004 SC
3540 and in accordance with the paragraph 10 of the IN Domain
Name Dispute Resolution Policy the domain name www.ndtv.co.in of
Respondent be surrendered to the Complainant."
