Respected Lawyers & Advocates,
What is the meaning of the phrase stated below in quotes ? It was used by Bombay High Court in one of its order.
"The interim application is dismissed. Costs to be costs in the cause."
Queries:-
1. It was plaintiff's interim application which was dismissed. So what is the meaning of 'Costs to be costs in the cause' ?
2. Does the phrase, "Costs to be costs in the cause" means that plaintiff has to pay defendant the cost of defending interim application ?
