Temporary Injunction
An injunction is a judicial order that
prohibits a person from commencing or continuing an action that threatens or infringes on the legal rights of another, or forcing a person to perform a certain conduct, such as making compensation to an injured party. A temporary injunction is a temporary relief that is used to keep the status quo. Its goal is to keep the plaintiff’s rights from being dissolved. The main point for using a temporary injunction is because you need relief right away. Sections 94(c) and (e) of the CPC provide that the Court may give a temporary injunction or make any other interlocutory order that seems to the Court to be reasonable and convenient in order to avoid the objectives of justice from being defeated. Section 95 of the Civil Procedure Code also states that if a temporary injunction is granted and the Court determines that there were insufficient grounds, or if the plaintiff’s suit fails and the Court determines that there was no reasonable or probable ground for instituting the suit, the Court may award reasonable compensation on the defendant’s application, up to the extent of the Court’s pecuniary jurisdiction. It has been held in the case Wander v. Antox India[3] that “Usually, the prayer for grant of an interlocutory injunction is at a stage when the existence of the legal right asserted by the plaintiff and its alleged violation are both contested and uncertain, and remain uncertain till they are established at the trial on evidence”.
