1 - 8 of 8 (1.12 seconds)Zenit Mataplast P.Ltd vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors on 11 September, 2009
(Vide Zenit Mataplast Private Limited v. State of
Maharashtra and Others (2009(10) SCC 388). Such order is passed
as a temporary arrangement to preserve the status quo till the
matter is finally decided and the intention is to ensure that the
subject matter does not become either infructuous or a fait
accompli before the final hearing. Thus the object of the interim
order should be to protect the complainant against injury by
violation of his right for which he could not be adequately
compensated in damages if the uncertainty were resolved in his
favour at the trial.

Mahadeo Savlaram Shelke And Ors. vs Puna Municipal Corporation And Anr. on 24 January, 1995
In Mahadeo Savlaram Shelke and Others v. Pune
WP(C) No.7693/2010

Municipal Corporation and Another (1995 (3) SCC 33), the Apex
Court has held that while exercising the power, the Court should
also adopt the procedure of calling upon the plaintiff to file a bond
to the satisfaction of the Court that in the event of his failing in the
suit to obtain the relief asked for in the plaint, he could adequately
compensate the defendant for the loss ensued due to the order of
injunction granted in favour of the plaintiff, and that even
otherwise, the Court while exercising its equity jurisdiction has such
jurisdiction and power to grant adequate compensation to mitigate
the damages caused to the defendant. It was further held that this
procedure would act as a check on the abuse of the process of
Court and adequately compensate the damage or injuries suffered
by the defendant by act of Court at the behest of the plaintiff.
Dalpat Kumar And Anr. vs Prahlad Singh And Ors. on 16 December, 1991
8. An interim order is passed on the basis of prima facie
findings, which are tentative. Grant of interim orders is governed by
the principles; prima facie case, balance of convenience and
irreparable injury, which are required to be considered in a proper
perspective in the facts and circumstances of each case. The
phrases, 'prima facie case, balance of convenience, irreparable loss'
are not rhetoric phrases for incantation, but words of width and
elasticity to meet myriad situations presented by men's ingenuity in

given facts and circumstances, but always is hedged with sound
exercise of judicial discretion to meet the ends of justice. (Vide
Dalpat Kumar v. Prahlad Singh (1992(1) SCC 719). Interim orders
should not be granted by Court or a Forum without considering all
the pros and cons of the case in a given set of facts involved therein
on the risk and responsibility of the party at whose instance it is
passed or, in case he loses the case, he cannot take any advantage
of the same.
South Eastern Coalfields Ltd. vs State Of M.P. And Ors. on 13 October, 2003
In South Eastern Coalfields Ltd. v. State of M.P. and
Others (2003(8) SCC 648), the Apex Court held that the principle,
no one shall suffer by an act of the Court is not a rule confined to an
erroneous act of the Court; "the act of Court" embraces within its
sweep all such acts as to which the Court may form an opinion in
any legal proceedings that the Court would not have so acted had it
been correctly apprised of the facts and the law. It was held that the
factor attracting applicability of restitution is not the act of the
Court being wrongful or a mistake or error committed by the Court;
the test is whether on account of an act of the party persuading the
Court to pass an order held at the end unsustainable, has resulted
in one party getting an advantage which it would not have otherwise
earned or the other party has suffered an impoverishment which it
would not have suffered, but for the order of the Court and the act
of such party. It was held that in such cases the quantum of
restitution may take into consideration not only what the party
excluded would have made, but also what the party under
obligation has or might reasonably have made, and that there is
nothing wrong in the parties demanding being placed in the same

position in which they would have been, had the Court not
intervened by its interim order when at the end of the proceedings
the Court pronounces its judicial verdict which does not match with
and countenance its own interim verdict. It was held that the injury,
if any, caused by the act of the court shall be undone and the gain
which the party would have earned, unless it was interdicted by the
order of the Court, would be restored to or conferred on the party
by suitably commanding the party liable to do so, and that any
opinion to the contrary would lead to unjust, if not disastrous,
consequences.
Amarjeet Singh & Ors vs Devi Ratan & Ors on 18 November, 2009
13. The principles laid down in the aforesaid judgments
should apply to cases considered by Forums created under the
Consumer Protection Act, 1986 also. As already seen, by virtue of
Exts.P5 & P6, the petitioner is prevented from realising the parking
fee. At the end of the trial, if the complaint is rejected, the
petitioner is entitled to be compensated for the loss that has been
caused at the instance of the complainant, the respondent herein.
No safeguard to protect the interest of the petitioner has been
provided either by the CDRF or by the State Commission. Unless
safeguards are provided, it will be difficult, if not, impossible, to
compensate the petitioner and in any case, the petitioner should not

be made to run from pillar to post to recoup her losses. Neither the
CDRF nor the State Commission has adverted to the specific case of
the petitioner that the complaint was filed without any bonafides
and that the respondent is an employee in a toddy shop and that
the vehicle mentioned in the complaint does not belong to him.
Therefore, even if this order is to be passed, the absence of such a
safeguard is an added reason for this Court to set aside Exts.P5 &
P6.

(1999(1) SCC 492), it has been held that the party at whose instance

consequences of the interim order and that in appropriate cases,
such parties should be made to furnish security to provide for
restitution.
