🔹Order 39 – Temporary Injunctions (CPC, 1908)
🔹Short Note (Hindi):
Order 39 batata hai ki court kisi case me temporary order (injunction) de sakti hai taaki nyay hone tak koi nuksan na ho.
Matlab – jab tak case ka final faisla nahi hota, tab tak court kisi party ko kuch karne se rok sakti hai ya kuch karne ka order de sakti hai, taaki justice protect rahe.
🔹Full Description (English + Hindi):
🔹 Meaning:
A Temporary Injunction means a temporary order issued by the court to maintain status quo — meaning things should remain as they are — till the final decision.
Example: Agar A aur B property ke liye lad rahe hain, aur A building banana chah raha hai, to court temporary injunction de sakti hai ki “jab tak case decide nahi hota, koi construction nahi karega.”
🔹 Purpose of Order 39:
- To protect property or rights till the case is decided.
- To prevent irreparable damage to either party.
- To maintain peace and balance between parties during the case.
🔹 Key Rules under Order 39:
Rule 1 – When Temporary Injunction may be granted:
Court injunction tab de sakti hai jab —
- Property ke waste hone, nuksan hone, ya illegal transfer ka khatra ho.
- Defendant illegal action lene wala ho jo plaintiff ke right ko affect karega.
- Plaintiff ke favour me prima facie case ho (matlab pehli nazar me sahi lagta ho).
Rule 2 – Injunction to restrain repetition or continuance of breach:
Agar koi defendant plaintiff ke legal right ka repeatedly violation kar raha hai (e.g. trademark ya property trespass), to court usse repeat karne se rok sakti hai.
Rule 3 – Before granting Injunction (Notice to opposite party):
Court ko generally opposite party ko notice dena chahiye before granting injunction.
Lekin agar situation urgent hai, to ex-parte injunction (bina sunwai ke temporary order) bhi diya ja sakta hai.
Rule 3A – Time-bound disposal:
Agar ex-parte injunction diya gaya ho, to court ko 30 days ke andar uska final decision lena chahiye.
Rule 4 – Discharge, Variation, or Setting Aside of Injunction:
Agar kisi injunction me galti ya misuse ho gaya ho, to court usse cancel, modify ya set aside kar sakti hai.
Rule 5 – Injunction against Corporation:
Court injunction companies ya government bodies ke khilaf bhi de sakti hai, agar zarurat ho.
🔹 Types of Injunctions:
- Temporary Injunction – Valid till case disposal (Order 39 CPC).
- Permanent Injunction – Final judgment ke baad milti hai (Sec. 38, Specific Relief Act).
🔹 Conditions for Grant of Temporary Injunction:
Court tabhi injunction degi jab ye teen conditions satisfy ho –
- Prima facie case: Plaintiff ke favour me strong initial case ho.
- Balance of convenience: Plaintiff ko zyada nuksan hoga agar injunction na di gayi.
- Irreparable loss: Agar injunction na mile to plaintiff ka nuksan aisa hoga jo paison se pura nahi ho sakta.
🔹 Important Case Laws:
- Dalpat Kumar v. Prahlad Singh (1992):
Court ne kaha – injunction dene se pehle ye teen conditions mandatory hain. - Wander Ltd. v. Antox India (1990):
Temporary injunction ek discretionary relief hai, har case ke facts pe depend karta hai. - Kishoresinh Ratansinh Jadeja v. Maruti Corporation (2009):
Court ne kaha – ex-parte injunction tabhi valid hai jab urgency prove ki gayi ho.
🔹 Example:
A aur B ek property ke liye lad rahe hain.
A ne case file kiya ki B illegal construction kar raha hai.
Court ne temporary injunction di — “B building ka kaam band kare jab tak case decide nahi hota.”
🔹Ye hi hota hai “Temporary Injunction under Order 39 CPC.”
