Headnote:

Constitution of India, 1950 – Article 136 – Civil Procedure Code, 1908 – Order XXXIX Rule 1(b) and 1© – Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 – Registration Act, 1908 – Section 47 – Appeal - Suit for permanent injunction – Relief for permanent injunction restraining - Whether Trial Court has committed an error in granting an order of injunction when the appeal is pending and whether the cause of action is different in the present suit - It is clear that respondents herein have not approached the Court with clean hand and with an intention to seek interim relief stated that the High Court has refused to grant the injunction. [Para 26]

Finding of the court: Court have already pointed out that cause of actions for both suits are one and same and when such being case, very approach of Trial Court in granting an order of injunction is nothing but capricious and it amounts to perversity and same is unreasonable and ought not to have granted relief when appeal was admitted before this Court is brought to notice of Trial Court and hence, order impugned is liable to be set aside – Trial Court has committed an error in granting an order of injunction when appeal is pending, since cause of action is not different and same is similar in both suits and Trial Court ought to have taken note of pendency of appeal which is pending before this Court and very finding of Trial Court in earlier suit was questioned before this Court.

Result: Appeal allowed.
