                          Water and Power Consultancy Services[India]Ltd.

                                                      Vs.

                                               Sudha Gadodia

                                        C.A.No.3273-3274 of 2009

                                  (Tarun Chatterjee and H.L. Dattu JJ.)

                                                  01.05.2009

                                                   ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. This appeal has been preferred against an order dated 25 th of February, 2009, passed by a
learned judge of the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi in CMM No.143 of 2009 and CMM
No.2725 of 2009, by which the High Court reversed an order of the Additional District Judge
directing the respondent to withdraw the admitted rent in respect of the property in question
against furnishing of a bank guarantee.

3. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and after going through the impugned order
and other materials on record, we are not inclined to interfere with the order of the High
Court. However, from a perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the High Court has
directed the Chairman of the appellant company to be personally present in Court on 8 thof
April, 2009. Considering the facts and circumstances, we do not think that such an order
ought to have been passed directing the Chairman to be personally present in Court only
because the appellant sought number of adjournments.

4. Accordingly this part of the impugned order directing the Chairman of the appellant
company to be personally present in Court is deleted. The appeal is thus disposed of. Since,
this order has been passed in the absence of the respondent, we keep it open for the
respondent to apply for recall of this order, if so advised.
