Where  indemnification is sought by judicial action, the court may  allow a person such  reasonable  expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees,  during  the  pendency  of  the litigation as are necessary in connection  with his defense therein, if the court shall find that the defendant has  by his pleadings or during the course of the litigation  raised  genuine  issues of fact or law.
