Interim Relief in Commercial Contracts | Bombay HC Mandates Deposit of Title Deeds to Secure Contractual Claims Under LOUs

The Bombay High Court ruled that title deeds must be deposited with the court as security for contractual claims under Letters of Understanding (LOUs), even if sale obligations remain unfulfilled. This decision reinforces the enforceability of interim relief mechanisms in commercial disputes, ensuring creditors' interests are protected pending final adjudication. Developers and contracting parties must now factor this heightened security requirement into their transaction structures.
