Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's order awarding costs of ₹45,28,000 to the respondents in a civil appeal concerning a temporary injunction. The Court held that the award of costs was valid as both parties had agreed to the suggestion of the court regarding litigation expenses. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that costs can be awarded in commercial disputes when agreed upon by the parties, thereby upholding the principle of cost recovery in litigation.
