TATA CHEMICALS LTD. vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Gujarat High Court's order rejecting the interim injunction under Order XLIII Rule 1(r) CPC. The Court held that the appellant had established a prima facie case but was denied interim relief on the grounds of lack of irreparable injury. The Court granted interim relief requiring the appellant to pay dues while securing the amount with a bank guarantee, thereby balancing the interests of both parties pending the final decision in the suit.
