An interim order directing release of the goods on partial payment was therefore unsustainable because it would leave the port trust unsecured and worse off than under the earlier arrangement. The court held that, pending adjudication of the separate issue of waiver or remission under Ministry of Shipping circulars, release of the cargo had to be conditioned on payment of the full dues claimed, without prejudice to the parties' rights in the writ petition.
