A Division Bench of Justices Vibhu Bakhru and Amit Mahajan passed the order observing that Choksi is neither a citizen of India nor a resident and several proceedings against him are pending against him which includes proceedings for payment of dues.
“This Court is of the view that, in the event, the appellant does not prevail in the present appeal and costs are awarded to the respondent, there perhaps would be no method of recovering the same. This Court considers it apposite to direct, before this proceedings are taken, the appellant to deposit a sum of ₹2,00,000/- within a period of one week from today with the registry of this Court to secure the costs of the present proceeding,” the Bench said.
The case will now be considered on August 4.
