3. Pending the above suit, the respondents filed the above applications for appointment of Advocate Commissioner and temporary injunction and aggrieved by the allowing of those applications, the petitioners are before this Court.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner by taking this Court to the order impugned in Civil Miscellaneous Application submitted that the Trial Court granted injunction without recording any prima facie case and balance of convenience. The learned counsel would further submit that if the temporary injunction sought for is granted as prayed for, it would amount to granting the main prayer in the suit for removal of the 5th petitioner from the post of Managing Trustee and other petitioners from the post of Trustees. The learned counsel submitted that by way of an interim order, the Court below ought not to have granted main relief.

5. As far as appointment of Advocate Commissioner to inspect the accounts of the Trustee is concerned, the learned counsel submits that only if the respondents succeed in the main prayer in the Suit, they are entitled to inspect the accounts and even before consideration of the main prayer, the respondents are not entitled to seek appointment of Advocate Commissioner to go into the accounts of the Trust.

6. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the petitioners by taking advantage of their position in the affairs of the Trust making encumbrance of the Trust properties and causing disturbance to the Trust and therefore necessary interim order shall be passed to protect the Trust properties. The learned counsel also submitted that report submitted by the Advocate Commissioner with regard to the accounts maintained by the Trust would not cause any prejudice to the petitioners and hence the order appointing the Advocate
