1983 (8) TMI 252 - SC - Companies LawWhether such an injunction as prayed for could be issued under s. 41 of the Arbitration Act? Held that:- An injunction order restraining respondents from withholding the amount due under other pending bills to the contractor virtually amounts to a direction to pay the amount to the contractor-appellant. Such an order was clearly beyond the purview of cl. (b) of s. 41 of the Arbitration Act. The Union of India has no objection to the grant of an injunction restraining it from recovering or appropriating the amount Lying with it in respect of other claims of the contractor towards its claim for damages. But certainly cl. 18 of the standard contract confers ample power upon the Union of India to withhold the amount and no injunction order could be passed restraining the Union of India from withholding the amount. Appeal dismissed.
