The controversy that has come up in this case as a result of an order passed by me on an application moved by the plaintiff being C.M.A. 549 of 2001, under section 152 read with section 15, C.P.C. whereby, following orders without notice to the defendants were passed on 9-3-2001:   "This is an application under section 152 read with section 151, C.P.C.   Vide order, dated 3-3-2001, the plaintiffs were directed to furnish security to the tune of US.
