Interim Mandatory Injunctions - Main Principles
Courts generally require a strong prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable harm to justify granting interim mandatory injunctions. Such orders are not to be granted lightly and are reserved for exceptional cases where the relief sought closely resembles the final relief. For instance, in Beena Sharma (2006), it was held that interim orders of a mandatory nature should not be granted if they mirror the main prayer, emphasizing caution in such applications. K. V.

Similarity of Interim and Main Prayer
When the interim relief sought is similar or identical to the main prayer, courts tend to reject such applications to prevent granting final relief prematurely. Overlapping reliefs can lead to infructuous or redundant interim orders, as seen in cases where courts have dismissed interim applications that essentially pre-empt the main hearing.

Exceptional Circumstances for Interim Relief
Courts may grant interim relief in extraordinary situations, such as urgent preservation of rights or preventing irreparable damage. However, the relief must not amount to final adjudication of the main issue. For example, in cases involving demolition, possession, or employment disputes, interim orders are issued with caveats or conditions to avoid prejudging the main matter.

Vacating or Modifying Interim Orders
Courts have the authority to vacate or modify interim orders if the circumstances change or if the conditions for their grant are no longer met. For example, interim relief granted earlier can be vacated upon filing appropriate undertakings or if merits of the case suggest that the interim order was improper.

Analysis and Conclusion
Interim orders similar to the main prayer are generally disfavored unless exceptional circumstances justify their grant. Courts prioritize preventing premature final relief and avoiding overlap with the main issues. The principles established in case law emphasize caution and strict criteria—such as a strong prima facie case, irreparable harm, and balance of convenience—before granting mandatory interim relief. When interim orders are issued, courts often include conditions or undertakings to safeguard the rights and ensure proper adjudication of the main matter.
