Interim Injunction under Section 151 CPC - The courts have consistently held that interim injunctions can be granted under Section 151 CPC in conjunction with Order 39, Rules 1 and 2, to prevent irreparable harm pending the final decision. The application for such injunctions is permissible at the stage of the suit, and courts have affirmed their authority to do so, provided the orders are lawful and not illegal or perverse. Shis Ram VS Karta - Current Civil Cases
Application of Order 39, Rules 1 & 2 - These rules empower courts to grant temporary injunctions to restrain parties from actions that may cause harm or alter the status quo during the pendency of the suit. Courts have allowed interim relief in cases involving land transfers, property modifications, or other civil disputes, often combining these rules with Section 151 CPC for broader discretion.

Scope of Section 151 CPC - Section 151 provides inherent powers to the courts to do complete justice and supplement the specific provisions of the CPC, including granting interim relief. It is invoked when the existing rules do not explicitly cover a particular situation, allowing courts flexibility in granting interim injunctions or orders, such as police aid or preservation of evidence.

Judicial Precedents and Case Law - Courts have upheld the legality of interim injunctions granted under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 CPC, emphasizing that such relief is crucial for maintaining the status quo and preventing irreparable damage during litigation. Orders are subject to appeal or revision but are scrutinized for legality and correctness.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Interim injunctions can indeed be allowed under Section 151 CPC when invoked alongside Order 39 Rules 1 and 2. Courts have consistently recognized their authority to grant such relief to prevent irreparable harm, preserve the status quo, and ensure justice during the pendency of civil proceedings. The key is that these orders must be lawful, justified, and not suffer from illegality or perversity, with Section 151 providing a vital legal basis for flexible and equitable interim relief where specific provisions are inadequate.
