M.T. ENRICA LEXIE . vs DORAMMA . — C.A. No. 4167/2012

Summary: On 12 July 2013, the Supreme Court directed the Registrar General of the High Court of Kerala to return Rs. 3 crores deposited by appellant Dolphin Tanker SRL (along with accrued interest) within two weeks. The Court held that since Dolphin had already executed a bond in compliance with the Court's May 2, 2012 order requiring a Rs. 3 crore bond to secure the vessel and crew members' presence, there was no necessity to renew the fixed deposit receipt. Both appellants' counsel and the State of Kerala's counsel agreed that the amount should be returned. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
