No.998 of 2024 has been filed seeking for an order of interim injunction to restrain the respondents from invoking the Bank Guarantee. 3. A preliminary counter affidavit has been filed by the 1st respondent and in paragraph No.8 of the same, the 1st respondent has stated that the subject Bank Guarantee was never issued to the 1st respondent by the applicant or the 2nd respondent herein. Therefore, they have stated that the invocation of the same by the 1st respondent or injuncting such invocation does not arise. The 1st respondent has also stated that the Bank of Ceylon has furnished a Bank Guarantee to the 1st respondent on behalf of the applicant. Further, it is stated that neither the Bank of Ceylon is a party nor the said Bank Guarantee is the subject matter of the present Section 9 application. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis O.A.

Consequently, the vacate injunction application viz., Arb. A. No.97 of 2025 is also closed. 06.02.2025 vsi2 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis O.A. No.998 of 2024 ABDUL QUDDHOSE, J. vsi2 O.A.
