Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Federal Bank against the High Court's dismissal of its appeal regarding a temporary injunction under Order 39 Rule 1 CPC. The Court held that the Negotiating Bank, having acted in accordance with the Uniform Customs and Practice of Documentary Credits (1983), was entitled to reimbursement from the Issuing Bank despite the injunction against it. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff did not allege fraud or forgery against the Negotiating Bank, thus ruling in favor of the appellant and setting aside the injunction.
