¶18

paragraph 14 of the affidavit-in-reply filed by the Respondents, by furnishing security in the form of a bank guarantee drawn on scheduled / nationalized banks in favour of the Registry of this Court, which would be subject to the outcome of the present Writ Petition in

¶19

exchange for the attachment of the property of Abhirama Steel Industries Ltd. At Chaityal Village bearing Survey No.272/1, Parangi Mandal, District Rangareddy, Pin 501501 Telangana (subject property) being lifted.

¶20

Mr.Samant has stated that the instructions have been taken and he has referred to a letter dated 3^rd November 2025 which has been addressed by Respondents to the learned Addl.G.P. wherein it is stated that the Respondents would be agreeable only if an amount of Rs.74.24 Lakhs is deposited by the Petitioner in this Court together with a further amount towards the interest component thereon w.e.f 19^th March 2016.

¶21

After considering the arguments advanced by the parties, this Court is of the view that it would be appropriate to direct the Petitioner to secure the amount of Rs.74.24 Lakhs by furnishing a bank guarantee drawn on scheduled / nationalized bank. Further, in

¶24

so far as the interest component is concerned, the Petitioner shall file an affidavit of undertaking that in the event the Petitioner is unsuccessful in the present Writ Petition and the MPID Court in which the proceedings are ongoing and where the subject property has been attached, holds that interest is payable in addition to the amount claimed, the Petitioner will forthwith make payment of the said interest component towards the raising of the attachment of the subject property. Mr. Kamat, on instructions of the Petitioner states they are agreeable to furnish the requisite bank guarantee and also file the requisite affidavit of undertaking. The said statement is accepted.

¶25

Thus, the entire claim of the Respondents vis-a-vis the subject property which is pending adjudication before the MPID Court is secured and in view thereof, there is no reason for the attachment to continue on the subject property which is stated to be worth several crores. Balance of convenience thus lies in favour of the Petitioner who would suffer irretrievable harm and loss, if such reliefs are not granted in its favour.
