Temporary injunction – When ex-parte temporary injunction is granted, defendant has right to file application under Order 39 Rule 4 of CPC and seek for vacating the same.
The court affirmed that members must challenge resolutions to preserve their rights, and the Registrar's approval of amendments is valid if compliant with the Act and Rules.
Point of law: That it is basic to our processual jurisprudence that the right to relief must be judged to exist as on the date a suitor institutes the legal proceeding.
The binding nature of resolutions passed in meetings held under specific rules prevails over general quorum requirements, as per the principle of Generalia Specialibus non-derogant.
