Contract Act (IX of 1872) S. 126, Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), OXXXIX, Rr. 1 & 2 Encashment of performance guarantee Mobilization guarantee Restraining defendants from encashing such guarantee Essentials Encashment of performance bond was dependent on determination of question as to who had committed default in fulfilment of its obligations in completion of assignment within given period Such question, however, would not be relevant as far as mobilization guarantee was concerned for in such cases principal debtor had received consideration from the owner or main contractor (creditor) which he was liable to return or refund as a result of any revocation, termination or completion of contract Burden, in such cases would be upon principal debtor at whose instance such mobilization bond was executed or on the surety to show that either no amount was advanced to them as mobilization or advance amount or such amount if received then it had been duly incurred or that he was entitled for appropriation of certain outstanding amount against amount of mobilization bond/guarantee. In absence of, such conditions, Court would be reluctant to grant, interim injunction restraining encashment of Bank guarantee executed against receipt of advance or mobilization fund Plaintiff's application was disallowed up to the extent of mobilization advance guarantee while it was granted up to the extent of performance bond/guarantee Plaintiff had prima facie proved balance of convenience as also irreparable loss if performance guarantee was encashed Defendants were, thus, restrained not to encash performance guarantee, while they would be entitled to encash mobilization guarantee.
