It was further stated that the High Court is<\/p>\n<p>already seized of the matter with respect to the appointment of the Arbitrator.<\/p>\n<p>            Learned counsel for the parties have been heard.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Dispute in the present case was with regard to the three Purchase<\/p>\n<p>Orders dated 16.09.2004 for supply of 600 numbers of Transformers of 100 KVA,<\/p>\n<p>Purchase Order dated 01.09.2004 for supply of 600 numbers of Transformers of<\/p>\n<p>63 KVA and the third Purchase Order dated 06.12.2004 for supply of 1500<\/p>\n<p>numbers of 25 KVA Transformers.         As per the terms and conditions of the<\/p>\n<p>Purchase order, the respondent-firm furnished the bank guarantee of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.38,16,000\/- against the first Purchase Order and Rs.25,53,000\/- against the<\/p>\n<p>second Purchase Order. There was no bank guarantee furnished in respect of the<\/p>\n<p>third Purchase Order, but 10% of the purchase order amount was deducted from<\/p>\n<p>the running bill of the respondent-firm towards the Bank guarantee amount. The<\/p>\n<p>respondent firm could not supply the requisite number of Transformers, as per the<\/p>\n<p>Purchase Order dated 06.12.2004. Likewise, in respect of the supply relating to<\/p>\n<p>63 KVA and 100 KVA Transformers, a large quantity of Transformers supplied<\/p>\n<p>by the respondent firm did not conform to the specifications. Accordingly, a<\/p>\n<p>penalty of Rs.4.35 crores and another amount of penalty of Rs.3.56 crores relating<\/p>\n<p>to various recoveries of damaged Transformers etc. was imposed. It was stated<\/p>\n<p>that on failure of the respondent firm in furnishing an undertaking to the effect<\/p>\n<p>that the sub standard Transformers shall be replaced, a notice dated 31.12.2007<\/p>\n<p>was sent.\n<\/p>\n<p>            It is settled proposition of law that the bank guarantee is an<\/p>\n<p>independent contract between the bank and the beneficiaries. Learned counsel for<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO No. 3518 of 2009                                                            4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the respondents is also not able to dispute the settled proposition of law. Thus, it<\/p>\n<p>is evident that the bank must pay on demand without any further dispute. The<\/p>\n<p>Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the case of Reliance Energy Limited (Supra) chalked<\/p>\n<p>out two exceptions to this rule, which are as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;10. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule. The first<\/p>\n<p>             is when there is a clear fraud of which the bank has notice and a<\/p>\n<p>             fraud of the beneficiary from which it seeks to benefit. The<\/p>\n<p>             fraud must be of an egregious nature as to vitiate the entire<\/p>\n<p>             underlying transaction. The second exception to the general<\/p>\n<p>             rule of non-intervention is when there are &#8220;special equities&#8221; in<\/p>\n<p>             favour of injunction, such as when &#8220;irretrievable injury&#8221; or<\/p>\n<p>             &#8220;irretrievable injustice&#8221; would occur if such an injunction were<\/p>\n<p>             not granted. The general rule and its exceptions has been<\/p>\n<p>             reiterated in so many judgements of this Court, that in <a href=\"\/doc\/1746106\/\">U.P.<\/p>\n<p>             State Sugar Corpn. v. Sumac International Ltd.<\/a> (hereinafter &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>             U.P. State Sugar Corpn.&#8221;), this Court, correctly declared that<\/p>\n<p>             the law was settled.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             Admittedly, in the present case, no such allegation of fraud has been<\/p>\n<p>alleged. As such, the facts of the present case do not fall under the first exception.<\/p>\n<p>             As regards the second exception, no such circumstances are shown by<\/p>\n<p>the respondent-firm, which could justify for restraining the appellant from<\/p>\n<p>encashing the bank guarantee, except that the appellant has already moved the<\/p>\n<p>High Court for appointment of an independent arbitrator under Section 11(6) of<\/p>\n<p>the 1996 Act and the matter is pending adjudication before this Court. Thus, there<\/p>\n<p>is no plea of any special &#8216;equity&#8217; by the respondent firm in their favour. No plea of<\/p>\n<p>irretrievable injustice is made out. Pendency of the petition under Section 11(6)<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO No. 3518 of 2009                                                             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of the 1996 Act is not sufficient ground to fall under the second exception.<\/p>\n<p>             In a judgement rendered by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the case of<\/p>\n<p>Vinitec Electronics (supra), as relied upon by the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellants, in some what similar circumstances, held:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;28. There is no dispute that arbitral proceedings are pending.<br \/>\n             The appellant can always get the relief provided he makes his<br \/>\n             case before the Arbitral Tribunal. There is no allegation that it<br \/>\n             would be difficult to realise the amounts from the respondent<br \/>\n             in case the appellant succeeds before the Arbitral Tribunal.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             Thus, in these circumstances, no irretrievable injustice would be done<\/p>\n<p>to the respondent firm, if the bank guarantee furnishing by it, is encashed subject<\/p>\n<p>to the final outcome of the arbitration proceedings.\n<\/p>\n<p>             In &#8216;General Electric Technical Services Company&#8217; (supra), the Hon&#8217;ble<\/p>\n<p>Supreme in para 10 of the judgement while observing that an injunction to restrain<\/p>\n<p>the encashment of the bank guarantee cannot be granted in absence of fraud or<\/p>\n<p>likelihood of irretrievable injustice between the parties, held:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;10. &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.in the absence of fraud or special<br \/>\n             equities in the form of preventing irretrievable injustice between<br \/>\n             the parties. The High Court in the absence of prima facie case<br \/>\n             on such matters has committed an error in restraining the Bank<br \/>\n             from honouring its commitment under the Bank guarantee.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             Thus, the respondents can succeed only if a case was made out under<\/p>\n<p>the two exceptions to the general rule. In the present case, there is neither any<\/p>\n<p>fraud, nor will encashment of the bank guarantee prima facie create special<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;equities&#8221; or irretrievable injury.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Above being the position, the order dated 12.02.2009 passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Additional District Judge, Panchkula deserves to be set aside only to the extent<\/p>\n<p>vide which the appellant has been restrained from encashing the bank guarantee.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> FAO No. 3518 of 2009                                                              6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>             Learned counsel for the appellant, however, has no objection if the<\/p>\n<p>order dated 12.02.2009 passed by the Additional District Judge, Panchkula, black<\/p>\n<p>listing the respondent firm, is stayed till the appearance of the respondent firm<\/p>\n<p>before the Arbitrator in the first instance.\n<\/p>\n<p>             In this view of the matter, the present appeal is partly allowed to the<\/p>\n<p>following terms:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             a)     The order dated 12.02.2009 passed by the Additional District<br \/>\n                    Judge, Panchkula is set aside only to the extent vide which the<br \/>\n                    appellant has been restraining from encashing the bank<br \/>\n                    guarantee.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             b)     There shall be no restrain on the appellant to encash the bank<br \/>\n                    guarantee furnished by the respondent firm;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             c)     The order dated 12.02.2009 passed by the Additional District<br \/>\n                    Judge, Panchkula, black listing the respondent firm shall remain<br \/>\n                    stayed till the appearance of the respondent firm before the<br \/>\n                    Arbitrator at the first instance with liberty to the respondent firm<br \/>\n                    to move the Arbitrator for staying the operation of the part of the<br \/>\n                    order, vide which it is blacklisted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>                                                                    (Nirmaljit Kaur)<br \/>\n                                                                         Judge<br \/>\nAugust 27, 2009<br \/>\nmohan\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Uttari Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam &#8230; vs M\/S Modern Transformers Private &#8230; on 27 August, 2009 FAO No. 3518 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH &#8212; FAO No. 3518 of 2009 (O&amp;M) Date of decision: August 27, 2009 Uttari Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd.
