To be able to take action to obtain the domain via the domain name dispute process, you first have to show that you have rights in the name Ankish that predates the registration date by hughdomains.com and you have not indicated that you have a registered trademark for the term Ankish or any long-standing, pre-existing rights base on use. If you do, then you should contact a trademark attorney who is also a domain name arbiter or otherwise has experience in domain name disputes.
