Both domains were challenged under INDRP (.in dispute resolution):

In the case of hotels.in DirectI claimed that I was violating their "hotel" trademark.

They (the parent company of Skenzo) were further arguing that domain parking constitutes bad faith.

jobs.in was awarded to someone who owns several generic (and unused) trademarks for tobacco products (and who is a friend of the arbitrator according to his own web site[1])...

The decisions can be found at http://www.registry.in/policies/disp...ute_decisions/

As one can see there were quite a few other disputes concerning generic domains, each of them obviously resting on bogus arguments.
