No. No other person has got legal right to use name of ur company becs it is already registered. You can file civil suit seeking infringement of subsequent similar name but prior legal notice is mandatory to be given to such person. apart from civil action, criminal can also be initiated against such person if he do not stop his activities deceiving other person.
