THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28.01.2021,

SATHISH NINAN, J.
==================
O.P.(C) No.1741 of 2020
==================
Dated this the 28th day of January, 2021
JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the plaintiff in a suit for
recovery of money. He had obtained an order of conditional attachment before judgment of the
immovable property of the defendants. He is
aggrieved by the order directing lifting of
attachment.
2. The plaint claim is for `12 lakhs with 12%
interest. The defendants sought to have the
attachment lifted on furnishing fixed deposits for
`14,50,000/-. As admitted by the learned counsel on
either sides, if 9% interest is calculated on the
plaint claim, the amount would now be more than `19
lakhs. For having the attachment lifted it is only
proper that the defendants furnishes security for a
further amount of `5 lakhs. True, that this is only
a rough estimation and has nothing to do with the
merits of the plaint claim or the defence or of the O.P.(C) No.1741 of 2020
ultimate decree to be passed in the suit.
3. Accordingly, the order in IA 9/2020 dated
09.11.2020 will stand modified directing the
defendants to furnish security in the form of bank
guarantee or fixed deposit for a total amount of
`19,50,000/-.
Original petition is ordered as above.
