Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Order 43, Rule 1 C.P.C. by issuing directions regarding the maintainability of the plaintiff's suit while entertaining an appeal against the vacating of an ad interim injunction. The Court emphasized that the Appellate Court should only decide on the entitlement of the plaintiff to an ad interim injunction during the suit's pendency. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's directions, reaffirming that the maintainability of the suit remains to be determined in the ongoing proceedings.
