Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of anti-suit injunctions, specifically whether the High Court erred in vacating such an injunction against the respondent, who was pursuing a suit in a foreign court. The Court emphasized that an anti-suit injunction can be granted to prevent a party from pursuing litigation in a foreign jurisdiction if it is deemed necessary to protect the rights of the parties involved. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, allowing the respondent to proceed with the foreign suit, thereby affirming the principle of party autonomy in choosing their forum.
