The main legal point established in the judgment is the interpretation of the application of Section 151 CPC in the context of injunction orders and status quo, emphasizing the continuation of injunction orders when status quo is directed to be maintained by the higher court. The judgment also emphasizes the power of the court to enforce its orders and ensure compliance with injunctions.

Rajpura in which he had challenged the sale deeds dated 27.06.1989, 25.01.1994 and 12.12.1989 and the relief of permanent injunction was also declined. Earlier Gurnam Singh had also filed a civil suit regarding the suit land, which was dismissed and appeal was also dismissed. However, the defendant had obtained a wrong order dated 29.07.2011 from A.C. IInd Grade, Rajpura regarding correction of khasra girdawari of the suit land, which has been challenged in appeal. It was alleged that the plaintiffs are in cultivating possession of the suit land but the defendant is trying to dispossess them forcibly. They also filed an application for temporary injunction.

This prayer is open to be canvassed before the learned trial Court.

Mr. Dawar withdraws this application with liberty to press this prayer before the learned trial Court. CM stands disposed of."
