Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's order rejecting FCI's appeal against the attachment of its properties under Order 39 Rule 2A of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court found that FCI was rightly impleaded as a party in the suit concerning the recovery of dues by the bank from the landlords, as it had a direct interest in the rental payments. The Court emphasized that FCI's obligation to pay rent was linked to the loan agreements and the bank's rights as a mortgagee, affirming the lower court's decision to protect the bank's interests.
