During the pendency of the said Title Suit No.505/2023, a Misc. Case was instituted being Misc.

After hearing both the parties, the learned Civil Judge (Sr. Division) No.1, Kamrup (M) at Guwahati, dated 06.11.2025, in Misc. (J) Case No.852/2025 in connection with Title Suit No.505/2023, whereby the prayer for the temporary injunction as well as the mandatory injunction was allowed considering the fact that the suit property is in danger of being wasted, damaged and susceptible to chance of hands. In the said order, apart from the temporary injunction, the respondents/appellant were also directed not to interfere in the possession of the present applicant/respondent and asked to remove all banners, fixtures and any movable kept by them in the suit premises and unauthorized entry from the suit property. After the said order passed in Misc. (J) Case No.852/2025, the connected FAO No.75/2025 has been filed by the respondent/appellant, wherein vide order dated 26.11.2025, this Court had passed the order directing both the parties to maintain status quo over the suit property as on the date of order.

Thus, the respondent/appellant have violated the order of status quo by entering into the suit property and installing their car and men inside the suit property, for which the present petition had to be instituted for issuing an urgent ad interim direction to the respondent/appellant to restore the status quo in respect of the suit property as on 26.11.2025, in compliance of the order of this Court passed in FAO No.75/2025 and the Court of learned Civil Judge (Sr. Division) No.1, Kamrup (M) at Guwahati had passed the order dated 06.11.2025, in Misc.
