M/S. RAMAN TECH & PROCESS ENGG.CO.&ANR. vs M/S. SOLANKI TRADERS

The Supreme Court held that under Order 38 Rule 5 CPC, a plaintiff must establish a prima facie case before the court can order attachment before judgment. The Court emphasized that the mere existence of a valid claim is insufficient; the plaintiff must also demonstrate that the defendant is attempting to remove or dispose of assets to defeat a potential decree. The High Court's order directing the defendants to furnish security was upheld, as the defendants' actions indicated an attempt to evade the court's jurisdiction.
