Sudin Dilip Talaulikar vs Polycap Wires Pvt Ltd on 15 July, 2019
12. The Hon'ble Apex Court, again, in the case of Sudin Dilip
Talaulikar v. Polycap Wires Private Limited & Ors., reported in
(2019) 7 Supreme Court Cases 577, has held that the ultimate
objective of a summary Suit is expeditious disposal of
commercial disputes and, when the defence discloses facts of
prima facie fair and reasonable defence, unconditional leave
has to be granted and it relates to the subjective satisfaction of
the Court on the basis of the material that may be placed
before it and when the Court is satisfied that the defence is
plausible or probable and is not sham or moonshine, but still it
has some doubt over the defence, then conditional leave may
be granted to the Defendant. It was further observed by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the aforesaid Judgment that in case
of unconditional leave, subjective satisfaction of Court is

involved, whereas in conditional leave, element of discretion
vests with the Court. This discretion is not absolute, but is
required to be exercised judiciously, tempered with what is just
and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case by
maintaining delicate balance between the respective rights
and contentions by not passing an order which may ultimately
impede speedy resolution of dispute.
M/S Mehrotra Buildicon (P) Ltd vs Deputy Chief Engineer (Con.) 48 ... on 26 June, 2019
13. The another decision in the case of M/S V. K. Enterprises
& Anr. v. M/S Shiva Steels, passed in Special Leave Petition (C)
No. 25144 of 2009, decided on 4th of August, 2020, in
Paragraph No.8, the Hon'ble Apex Court has held as under:
B.L. Kashyap And Sons Ltd. vs M/S Jms Steels And Power Corporation on 18 January, 2022
14. At this stage, I may refer to and rely upon the decision of
the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of B.L. Kashyap & Sons Ltd.
vs. JMS Steels & Power Corp., Civil Appeal No.379 of 2022,
wherein while clarifying the law on leave to defend, it is held
that even if there remains a reasonable doubt about the
probability of defence, sterner or higher conditions could be
imposed while granting leave to defend but, denying the leave
would be ordinarily countenanced only in such cases where the
defendant fails to show any genuine triable issue and the Court
finds the defence to be frivolous or vexatious. In the said case,
it has been observed as under;
Mechelec Engineers And Manufacturers vs M/S. Basic Equipment Corporation on 1 November, 1976
17. It is at once clear that even though in the case of IDBI
Trusteeship, this Court has observed that the principles
stated in paragraph 8 of Mechelec Engineers' case shall
stand superseded in the wake of amendment of Rule 3 of
Order XXXVII but, on the core theme, the principles
remain the same that grant of leave to defend (with or
without conditions) is the ordinary rule; and denial of
leave to defend is an exception. Putting it in other words,
generally, the prayer for leave to defend is to be denied
in such cases where the defendant has practically no
defence and is unable to give out even a semblance of
triable issues before the Court.
