S T C OF INDIA LTD vs M/S.SACHDEVA & SONS — C.A. No. 5814/1997

Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of STC of India Ltd's appeal, which challenged whether the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission could stay encashment of a bank guarantee. The court found the core issue academic since the guarantee had already been encashed following an earlier interim order. The court vacated its previous order staying proceedings before the Commission, while preserving STC's right to raise jurisdictional questions against the Commission in future proceedings as it may be advised.
