Dalpat Kumar And Anr. vs Prahlad Singh And Ors. on 16 December, 1991
15. This Tribunal must also satisfy itself that non-interference would
result in "irreparable injury" to the party seeking relief ie the Appellant, and
they need protection from the consequences of the apprehended injury.
Irreparable injury, however, does not mean that there must be no physical
possibility of repairing the injury, but means only that the injury must be a
material one, namely one that cannot be adequately compensated by way
of damages (Dalpat Kumar v. Prahlad Singh: AIR 1993 SC 276;
Mahadeo SavlaramShelke and Ors. Vs. Puna Municipal Corporation
and Ors.: MANU/SC/0673/1995). This Tribunal would refuse to grant
interlocutory relief if the injury suffered by the Appellant, on account of
refusal to grant interim relief, is not irreparable.
