    Case History
    Date: 27-01-2020
    Business: Ms. Nandini Joshi, advocate for the applicant (original defendant) present.
    Present exe.application is filed for recovery of amount of Rs. 35,00,000/- being amount guaranteed under the Bank Guarantee issued by Bank of Baroda, at the instance of plaintiff no.02, Hanil Era Textiles Ltd.
    Ms. Joshi states that as certain correspondence relating to the Bank Guarantee has been made by the Registrar, City Civil Court Bombay, the Registrar, City Civil Court Bombay has been made party respondent no.19 to the present exe.application.
    It is pointed out to Ms. Joshi that the Registrar is not party to the Suit and no decree is passed against the Registrar, hence, the Registrar should not have been made party to the present proceedings. Further, the adversary ought to have been vigilant to see that the Bank Guarantee is being renewed from the time to time by the party at whose instance the same has been issued.
    As such, as the Registrar himself has made party to the present exe.applicaion, it will not be proper of the part of the Registrar to proceed further in the present exe.application.
    Ms. Joshi therefore, submits that the matter be referred to the Honourable Court.
    Hence, the matter is hereby submitted to the Honourable Court as per assignment on 29/01/2020.
    Office to take steps to assign the matter to the Honourable Court .
    Parties and Advocates to appear before the Honourable Court on 29/01/2020, as may assigned.
