(1.) THE respondent/plaintiff has Filed A Suit For anti suit injunction, damages and other reliefs. An application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC seeking issuance of an ex parte ad interim injunction being I.A. No. 5854/08 has also been filed. An ex -parte ad -interim injunction was issued on 13th May 2008 restraining the Appellants, their agents and representatives from proceeding further with the complaint pending on the file of the United States International Trade Commission, Washington DC, USA ( hereinafter referred to as "USITC ") under Section 337 of the United States Trade Tariff Act.
(2.) AGAINST the said ex -parte ad -interim order present Appeal under Section 10(1) of Delhi High Court Act, 1966 read with Order 41 Rule 1(r) of CPC has been filed.
(3.) CONSIDERING the nature of the injunction passed by the learned Single Judge restraining the appellants herein from continuing to proceed with the proceedings pending in the US Tribunal/Court, we have entertained this appeal because of its urgent nature. Such kind of anti -suit injunction and powers vested in the Court are to be used sparingly as directed by the Hon 'ble Supreme Court of India and with utmost diligence. The injunction in anti suit is not merely inconvenient to the parties to the proceedings but also amounts to interference with the process of administration of justice of the foreign court.
