The court exercised its discretion under Order 23 and refused to order security because the plaintiff demonstrated strong merits for specific performance, made extensive efforts to effect service, and the defendant's requested security was disproportionate to the value at stake; accordingly ordering security would be unjust and likely to stifle a meritorious claim.
