Ancillary Relief - The courts consistently held that interim or ancillary relief can only be granted in aid of and as an adjunct to the main and principal relief sought in a suit or proceeding. Such relief is not independent but depends on the existence of a main relief, and it is permissible only when it aids the primary relief or addresses consequential issues Union of India VS State of Meghalaya - Gauhati, B.

Nature and Limitations of Interim Relief - Interim relief must not preempt the main issue, especially when statutory appeals or pending proceedings are involved. It should serve as an aid to the final determination and not as a substitute or final relief itself. Courts emphasize that such relief should be granted only to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm pending the adjudication of the main matter Union of India VS State of Meghalaya - Gauhati, Shyam Retails (India) Pvt.

Specific Applications - Examples include injunctions, recovery of possession, mesne profits, damages, and ancillary questions related to main issues like tenancy, sale deeds, or illegal acts.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Main ancillary relief issues revolve around the principle that interim or ancillary relief must be granted only as an aid to the main relief, not independently. Courts stress that such relief should be provisional, preserve the status quo, and be directly connected to the primary relief sought. It cannot preempt the main issues or serve as a final remedy, ensuring that the final adjudication remains the primary focus of the proceedings Union of India VS State of Meghalaya - Gauhati, Shyam Retails (India) Pvt.
