Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the terms of leave granted to the defendant in a civil suit, requiring an additional deposit of Rs. 10 lacs in the High Court, bringing the total to Rs. 20 lacs. This amount is to be kept in fixed deposit to ensure availability for the successful party's claim. The Court emphasized the necessity of securing the amount pending the trial court's decision, thereby ensuring fair access to justice for both parties.
