instituted the instant suit praying for a
decree of declaration of ownership entitled

OCEAN GALAXI (IMO No.8418227) alias
MIV EAST BRAVE and the suit is now
pending. But the plaintiff has no cause of
action to file the instant suit since the
‘New Camp Shipping Lid. Vs. M.V. OCEAN GALAXI& Ors (4.F.M. Abdur Raman) 141
defendant No.1 vessel M.V. OOCEAN
GALAXI_ (IMO. No.8418227) alias. M/V
EAST BRAVE was earlier arrested by the
Nampho Maritime Court of North Korea
due to a cargo claim wherein the instant
plaintiff being the alleged owner of the
vessel M.V. OCEAN GALAXI appeared in
the said suit and failed to vacate the order of
arrest, Thereafter, the defendant No.1 vessel,
the vessel M.V. OCEAN GALAXI. was
subjected to judicial sale and one K.
Brothers Marine Co. Ltd. purchased the
defendant No.1 vessel on auction and
obtained of sale, executed by the
Nampho Maritime Court. The new owner
thereafter got the vessel registered in its
name in Mongolia as M/V EAST BRAVE.
‘The said new owner K. Brothers Marine Co.
Ltd., thereafter sold the defendant No.1
vessel to Messer’s Rossmere International
imited who subsequently sold the
defendant No.1 vessel M.V. OCEAN
GALAXI to Angelina Shipping Inc. which
further sold the defendant No.1 vessel as a
serape vessel, to M/S K.R. Steel a
proprietary concern of the defendant No.3
Mr. Sekandar Hossain, by dint of
Memorandum of Agreement dated 1th
January, 2015.
2A. Ithas been further asserted in the instant
application that the defendant No.3
applicant opened L/C pursuant to the
Memorandum of Agreement dated
11.01.2015. On 4" February, 2015. upon
which the defendant No.1 vessel arrived at
the outer anchorage of Chittagong on
13.02.2015. The seller upon receiving the
L/C amount handed over the physical
possession of the defendant No.1 vessel to
the defendant No.3. Thereafter upon
observance of all port formalities, the
Chittagong Port Authority on 18,02.201Now Camp Si
issued permission to beach the defendant
No.1 vessel for scarping purpose, so also the
Customs Authority on 19.02.215 permitted
as such, upon receiving all duties and taxes
to that extent of beaching the defendant
No.1 vessel. On 28" February, 2015 the
defendant No.! vessel was beached at the
Shipyard, owned by the defendant No.3 at
North Salimpur, Jafrabad, — Sitakunda,
Chitagong. upon which the scrapping of the
defendant No.1 vessel commenced.
3. It has categorically asserted further that
all these facts have been suppressed and had
these facts were disclosed that this court
would find that the plaintiff has got no cause
of action in instituting the instant suit and
therefore the plaint is liable to be rejected
4. The leamed Advocate Mr. Mohammod
Hossain, appearing on behalf of the
defendant No.3 applicant, submits that the
plaintiff has got no cause of action in
instituting the instant suit since the
defendant No.1 vessel. M.V. OCEAN
GALAXI subjected to a judicial sale and
their the right title of the defendant No.1
vessel] M.V. OCEAN GALAXI has been
decided in the said suit. The plaintiff has got
no right title in the defendant No.1 vessel as
it has failed to establish the same in the said
suit, adjudicated before the Nampho
Maritime Court of North Korea. The
plaintiff upon suppressing all those facts
instituted the instant suit and therefore the
plaintiff having no cause of action to
institute the instant suit, the plaint is liable to
be rejected
3. On the other hand the learned Advocate,
Mr. Mahdin Choudhury, appearing on
behalf of the plaintiff-opposite pany,
although did not prefer any written objection
Lid V5. MLV. OCEAN GALAX! 201
against the application for rejection of the
plaint. nevertheless submits that the plaintiff
did not know whereabouts of the defendant
No.1 vessel M.V. OCEAN GALAXI and
only came to know from the written
statement filed by the defendant Nol that
there is a judicial sale in Korea and that
country, North Korea not being a
sophisticated country of law as recognized
by the International Community, the
plaintiff was not appraised with the filling of
the said suit in the said court in North Korea
and therefore when the plaintiff came to
know about the whereabouts of | the
defendants No.1 vessel in Bangladesh, it
filed the instant suit with a firm believe that
law has ity own impartial motion in Bangkidesh,
6. The learned Advocate Mr. Mahdin
Choudhury contends that there is no reason
for the plaintiff to suppress any fact
regarding the defendant No.1 vessel, what it
does not know. The learned Advocate Mr.
Mahdin Choudhury prays for rejection of
the instant application.
7. The learned Advocate Mr. Abul Nashar
Azad appearing on behalf of the added
defendant No.12 submits that the added
defendant No.12 being the mortgagee of the
defendant No.1 vessel did not know about
the institution of the instant suit in North
Korea and also not served with any notice of
the said suit. Therefore the mortgagee is
cemtitled to the possession of the suit property
but since the mortgagee is a added defendant
No.12 in the instant suit, it will take
appropriate step in proper form.
8. We have heard the learned Advocates and
perused the materials on record.
9. It appears that the instant suit has been24BLTHCD) 2016 Ma, Shahjahan Khan Vs, Executive Magistrate & Ors | (Me
filed by the plaintiff praying for declaration
as to the title of the defendant No.1 vessel
M.V. OCEAN GALAXL. But it appears that
from the documents filed by the defendant
No.1 that the said vessel was subject of
judicial sale by the Nampho Maritime Court
of North Korea, wherein the title to the
defendant No.l vessel was ascertain,
whereupon the defendant No.1 vessel was
sold to the subsequent auction purchaser,
where after the defendant No.3 ultimately
obtained the title and possession of the
vessel in Bangladesh. Therefore. this court
finds that there is no cause of a
favour of the plaintiff to institute th
suit for which the plaint is liable to be
rejected.
10, Further it appears that although the
learned Advocate Mr. Mahdin Choudhury
does not admit that there had been a suit
adjudicated in North Korea, yet as it reveled
thatthe defendant No.1 vessel M.V.
OCEAN GALAXI has been sold in the said
suit in North Korea, the plaintiff is entitled
to the sale proceed in North Korea for which.
it may take step in that suit before Nampho
Maritime Court in North Korea.
11, Accordingly, the instant application is
allowed.
12. The plaint in the instant Admiralty Suit
No. 12 of 2015 is hereby rejected.
13. However, there shall be no order as to
cost.
