(a) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)--- ----O. VII, R. 2 & O. XXXVIII, Rr. 1 & 5---Suit for recovery of money and damages---Application for attachment before ---Principle---Plaintiff sought property owned by defendant attached before ---Validity---Relief under O. XXXVIII, C.P.C. for attachment was a very harsh order to be made against defendant---Court, in granting such relief, was to be satisfied that plaintiff's cause, if of a prima facie nature was based on an unimpeachable averment / claim in plaint---Court must have reasons to believe on the basis of material before it that unless jurisdiction was exercised and orders as solicited were not passed, there was a real damage that defendant may remove itself from the territorial jurisdiction of the Court and an intent to avoid passing of a decree must be clearly shown with reasonable clarity---High Court declined to attach property of defendant before ---Application was dismissed in circumstances.
