THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR FURTHER HEARING,
THIS DAY, THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
- 3 -
MFA No. 8709 of 2022
C/W MFA No. 8710 of 2022
Both these appeals arise out of O.S.No.5099/2022 pending
on the file of the XXIV Addl.City Civil and Sessions Judge,
Bangalore.
2. The appellant – plaintiff instituted the aforesaid suit
against the respondent – defendant for permanent injunction
restraining him from dispossessing the plaintiff from the suit
schedule immovable property and from interfering with her
possession and enjoyment of the suit schedule property and for
other reliefs. The suit is being contested by the respondent –
defendant who has filed his written statement. In the suit, appellant
filed two applications viz., I.A.1 for temporary injunction restraining
the respondent from interfering with her possession and enjoyment
of the suit schedule property and I.A.2 for ad-interim order of
mandatory injunction directing the respondent to remove the MS
grill erected over the utility and main door of the suit schedule
property and the CCTV cameras pending disposal of the suit. Both
the applications having been opposed by the respondent, the trial
court proceeded to pass the impugned order rejecting both I.A.Nos.
- 4 -
1 and 2, aggrieved by which, the appellant is before this Court by
way of the present appeals.
3. MFA No.8710/2022 is directed against the impugned
order dated 29.11.2022 rejecting I.A.No.1, while MFA N.8709/2022
is directed against rejection of I.A.No.2
passed
by
the
trial
court.
4. Heard learned Senior counsel for the appellant and
learned counsel for the respondent and perused the material on
record.
5. In addition to reiterating the various contentions urged in
the appeals and referring to the material on record, learned Senior
counsel for the appellant submits that the trial court committed a
grave and serious error of law, fact and jurisdiction in coming to the
conclusion that the appellant had not made out a prima-facie case
and that the balance of convenience was not in favour of the
plaintiff and that she would not be put to irreparable loss and injury
if temporary injunction as sought for in I.A.Nos. 1 and 2 by the
appellant is not granted. It is submitted that the trial court
committed an error in holding that the appellant had admitted that
- 5 -
she was already dispossessed from the suit schedule property as
on the date of institution of the suit. It is further submitted that the
impugned order passed by the trial court is not only contrary to the
material on record but also well settled principles governing grant
of temporary injunction and as such, the impugned order deserves
to be set aside. In support of his contentions, learned Senior
counsel for the appellant placed reliance upon the following
decisions:-
1.
Shanmukhappa
Revanshiddappa
Keshetti
vs.
Murageppa Chanabasappa Shyabadi - ILR 1964

6. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent would

appeal and the same is liable to be dismissed. In support of his
contentions, learned counsel for the respondent has placed
