Hon ’ble Man oj Ku m ar Tiw ar i, J.
Heard Mr. Nikhil Singhal, Advocate
for the petitioner.
Respondent no. 1 filed a suit for
permanent
injunction
against
the
petitioner and respondent nos. 2 to 5.
Respondent no. 1 also filed a temporary
injunction application. Learned trial
Court
granted
ex-parte
temporary
injunction vide order dated 30.01.2021,
whereby
defendants
were
restrained
from
encroaching
and
raising
construction over the suit property till
next date of hearing. Thereafter, on
31.05.2022, on an application filed by
the plaintiff (respondent no. 1 herein),
learned trial Court directed the S.H.O.,
Police Station I.S.B.T., Dehradun to
enforce the temporary injunction order
dated
30.01.2021.
Petitioner
has
challenged
the
said
order
dated
31.05.2022.
Learned counsel for the petitioner
submits that in case of disobedience or
breach of an injunction order granted
under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 C.P.C., the
remedy lies under Order 39 Rule 2-A
C.P.C.
He,
thus,
submits
that
the
direction issued by learned trial Court to
the local police to enforce the temporary
injunction order dated 30.01.2021, is
unsustainable.
This Court finds substance in the
submission
made
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner.
I have gone through the order
dated 31.05.2022 passed by learned trial
Court. Learned trial Court has not
recorded
its
satisfaction
regarding
violation of order of temporary injunction
by the defendant (petitioner herein). It
is thus apparent that direction to the
concerned S.H.O. was issued by learned
trial Court merely on the asking of
plaintiff (respondent no. 1), without
recording its satisfaction as to whether
such direction was at all needed or not.
On this short point alone, the writ
petition is allowed and the impugned
order dated 31.05.2022 is set aside.
Learned counsel for the petitioner
submits that his clients will file objection
to the temporary injunction application
before learned trial Court on or before
16.07.2022.
Learned trial Court is requested to
dispose
of
the
temporary
injunction
application on the next date fixed i.e. on
26.07.2022 or any other day within two
weeks thereafter.
Till
disposal
of
temporary
injunction, parties shall maintain status
quo, qua suit property and petitioner
shall
not
raise
any
construction
thereupon, till disposal of the temporary
injunction application.
