Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who was prevented from paying the sale proceeds to Respondent No. 1 due to an injunction order obtained by Respondent No. 3, was entitled to a fair hearing as per principles of natural justice under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the appellant had no privity of contract with Respondent No. 3 and should not be penalized with interest for a situation beyond its control. The judgment of the Gujarat High Court was set aside, allowing the appellant to contest the claims against it.
