Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record, this Court is of the opinion that since the aspect relating to security has been sought to be raised which is an issue which needs to be thrashed out in the trial, thus respectfully following the judgement in the case of Sampelly Satyanarayan Rao (Supra) which had followed the judgement in the case of Hmt Watches Ltd vs M.A. Abida & Anr 2015 (11) SCC 776, this Court is not required to go into the said issue at this stage particularly when the legal aspect relating to factual issues.
