Money suit

If a non indian company who does not have any business in india or any asset in india files a money suit in india.

Is there any rule in which court can ask for security deposit if the defendant files a counter claim.

Order XXV Rule 1 of the CPC may hold . Defendant need not file a counter claim.

The Suit is to be filed where the entire or part of cause of action arose/where the defendant resides or conducts business. So, non -indian company can file a suit for recovery of money in Indian courts.

If defendant files a counter claim, -only requirement is he is bound to pay the court fee, for the counter claim.

Or38Rule 5 CPC provides Attachment before Judgment' .

Or 25 Rule 1 CPC provides only Security for Costs.
