Texmaco Ltd. vs State Bank Of India And Ors. on 12 May, 1978
I may notice that in India, the trend of law is on the
same line In the case of Texmaco Ltd. v. State Bank of India
and others, A.I.R. 1979 Calcutta 44, one of us (Sabyasachi
Mukharji) held that in the absence of special equities
arising from a particular situation which might entitle the
party on whose behalf guarantee is given to an injunction
restraining the bank in performance of bank guarantee and in
the absence of any clear fraud, the Bank must pay to the
party in whose favour guarantee is given on demand, if so
stipulated, and whether the terms are such have to be found
out from the performance guarantee as such. There the Court
held that where though the guarantee was given for the
performance by the party on whose behalf guarantee was
given, in an orderly manner its contractual obligation, the
obligation was undertaken by the bank to repay the amount on
"first demand" and 'without contestation, demur or protest
and without reference to such party and without questioning
the legal relationship subsisting between the party in whose
favour guarantee was given and the party on whose behalf
guarantee was given," and the guarantee also stipulated that
the bank should forthwith pay the amount due notwithstanding
any dispute between the parties," it must be deemed that the
moment a demand was made without protest and contestation,
the bank had obliged itself to pay irrespective of any
dispute as to whether there had been performance in an
orderly manner of the contractual obligation by the party.

Arul Murugan Traders vs Rashtriya Chemicals And Fertilisers ... on 29 March, 1984
Our attention was also drawn to the judgment of the
learned single Judge of the Madras High Court in Arul
Murugan Traders v. Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd.
Bombay and another, A.I.R. 1986 Madras 161 where the learned
Single Judge expressed the opinion that there was no
absolute rule prohibiting grant of interim injunction
relating to Bank guarantees and in exceptional case courts
would interfere with the machinery of irrevocable
obligations assumed by banks, and that the plaintiff must
establish prima facie case, meaning thereby that there is a
bona fide contention between the parties or serious question
to be tried and further the balance of convenience was also
a relevant factor. If the element of fraud exists, then
courts step in to prevent one of the parties to the contract
from deriving unjust enrichment by invoking bank guarantee.
In that case the learned Single Judge came to the conclusion
that the suit involved serious questions to be tried and
particularly relating to the plea of fraud, which was a
significant factor to be taken into account and claim for
interdicting the enforcement of bank guarantee should have
been allowed.
The State Trading Corporation Of India ... vs The Commercial Tax Officer, ... on 26 July, 1963
Consequently, in such a case, the party on whose behalf
guarantee was given was not entitled to an injunction
restraining the bank in performance of its guarantee It
appears that special equities mentioned therein may be a
situation where the injunction was sought for to prevent
injustice which was irretrievable in the words of Lord
Justice Danckwerts in Elian and
