Sunil Kakrania & Ors vs M/S. Saltee Infrastructure Ltd. & Anr on 10 July, 2009
There can be no two views that certain factual requirements have to be
satisfied by a party for obtaining an order of attachment before judgment or an
order of temporary injunction under Orders 38 Rule 5 and 39 Rule 1,
respectively. An order for attachment is usually passed after affidavits since the
threshold is higher in such cases. The Supreme Court in Raman Tech. vs. Solanki
Traders; (2008) 2 SCC 302, cautioned on the drastic effect of such orders. In the
present case, the petitioner does not seek an order of attachment but a restraint
on the respondent from dealing with alienating its assets or creating third party
rights in respect thereof. Sunil Kakrania vs. Saltee Infrastructure Ltd. & Anr.; AIR
2009 Cal 260 and Kohinoor Steel Private Limited vs. Pravesh Chandra Kapoor; AIR
2011 Cal 29 held that the petitioner would be required to make out a clear case
for an order in the nature of Order XXXIX Rule I (b) which would include the
defendant evincing an intention to remove or dispose of property with a view to
defrauding the creditors. In Kohinoor Steel there was no averment in the plaint or
the injunction application that the defendant intended or threatened to remove
his property with a view to defrauding his creditors. The Division Bench found
the allegations to be vague and insufficient for grant of order of attachment or
4
any order of similar effect. The Division Bench noted that apart from the
allegations being vague, the only ground taken by the plaintiff was that the
defendant is in a penurious condition and held that in a money suit a defendant
is not required to show that he has sufficient earnings to pay off the decretal
amount of the suit if ultimately decreed in the plaintiff's favour. In the present
case, there are specific allegations in the petition wherein it has been averred
that the respondent is threatening to frustrate the dues of the petitioner with an
objective of defrauding its creditors including the petitioner. The petitioner has
not prayed for interim order on the basis that the respondent is in financial
distress which would call for orders as prayed for.
