Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's request for an injunction against the Maharashtra State Electricity Board from invoking bank guarantees under Section 41 of the Arbitration Act. The Court found that the invocation of the guarantees was not fraudulent or dishonest, and that the appellant's claims regarding the timing of the invocation were unfounded. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision, allowing the bank guarantees to be invoked as per the contractual terms.
