U.P. Co-Operative Federation Ltd vs Singh Consultants & Engineers (P) Ltd on 19 November, 1987

11. Except under these circumstances, the courts should not readily issue injunction COMAP. No.53 OF 2021 26 to restrain the realisation of a bank guarantee or a letter of credit. So far as the first exception is concerned i.e. of fraud, one has to satisfy the Court that the fraud in connection with the bank guarantee or letter of credit would vitiate the very foundation of such a bank guarantee or letter of credit. So far as the second exception is concerned, this Court has held in that decision that it relates to cases where allowing encashment of an unconditional bank guarantee would result in irretrievable harm or injustice to one of the parties concerned. While dealing with the case of fraud, this Court in U.P. Coop. Federation Ltd. v. Singh Consultants and Engineers (P) Ltd. held as follows: (SCC p. 197, para 53) The fraud must be of an egregious nature such as to vitiate the entire underlying transaction.
