JUDGMENT

Leave to amend without need of re verification. Amendment to be effected in two weeks by the Applicant. Fresh service of the amended Interim Application is dispensed with.

B. OVERVIEW & BACKGROUND FACTS RELATING TO THE BANK GUARANTEES

The Interim Application is an impleadment action by the principal debtor ("Cethar"), at whose instance the Bank Guarantees in question were issued.

It issued the Bank Guarantees and periodically renewed them.

3. Cethar'S Interim Application for impleadment and Canara Bank's defence to the Summons for Judgment. Both plead fraud; each takes a slightly different approach.

4. Sks Power was once part of the SKS Ispat group. In November 2018,
