As there is no express provision by or under the Act providing for exclusion of Order XXXIX of Code of Civil Procedure in respect of grant of temporary injunction during pendency of a suit, the said provision is applicable to a suit for division of holding and the Court in which suit under Section 176 of Code of Civil Procedure is pending could have given the relief to the appellant which is being sought in present proceedings. At one stage, the learned counsel for appellant tried to argue that as Section 229D of the Act provides for grant of temporary injunction only in respect of suit for declaration filed under Sections 229B and 229C, the provisions of Order XXXIX of Code of Civil Procedure for temporary injunction impliedly extends excluded. We are not inclined to accept the said contention. The provision under Section 229D is only supplemental to Order XXXIX which permits grant of temporary injunction. By incorporating Section 229D, a temporary injunction can be granted in a suit for declaration though no permanent injunction is being sought which would not have been possible had the specific provision been not there. Thus, the argument that Order XXXIX of Code of Civil Procedure stands excluded in view of Section 229D of the Act is unacceptable to us."
