Discuss the remedies available for infringement of the Patents.
All the IPR laws (excluding patent and designs laws) provide penal provisions to prevent infringement.
Administrative Remedy:
If and when infringing goods are imported into Indian Territory, the IP owner can approach the Collector of Customs and prevent the entry of these goods into the Indian market. The IP owner must provide the name of the exporter, consignee, port of entry, name of the ship, etc to avail him/herself of this remedy.
Civil Remedy:

Such orders are normally granted without notice to the infringer; this provision is similar to Anton Piller orders granted by English courts.
