An Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge (Commercial Court) dismissed L&T’s Section 9 application seeking interim protection against K-RIDE invoking and encashing bank guarantees connected with Corridor-4 of the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project. The court allowed K-RIDE’s application to vacate an interim injunction that had been granted on July 30, 2025, and ordered that the injunction would stand automatically vacated on January 24, 2026. The court said the balance of convenience did not favor L&T, noted the unconditional nature of the bank guarantees, and said the constitution of the arbitral tribunal barred further interim measures by the court under Section 9(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. L&T was given liberty to seek similar relief before the arbitral tribunal within 20 days, and the court noted a remedy under Section 17 before the tribunal.
