BARNES INVESTMENTS LTD. vs RAJ K. GUPTA — C.A. No. 5042/2001

Summary of Barnes Investments Ltd. v. Raj K. Gupta (C.A. 5042/2001) The Supreme Court allowed Barnes Investments' appeal against the High Court's modification of property attachment orders. The Court held that the High Court was procedurally wrong in partially lifting the attachment on immovable property at 20, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi to permit construction by a third party (United Towers), as it lacked jurisdiction to vary attachment orders without first determining substantive questions under Order 21, Rule 58 CPC and without securing the decretal amount.
