A. Venkatasubbiah Naidu vs S. Chellappan And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of interim injunctions under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that such orders should not be granted without a thorough examination of the merits of the case. The Court held that the trial court's ex-parte injunction was improper as it extended beyond the permissible period without a proper hearing, thus infringing on the rights of the defendants. The appeal was allowed, and the interim injunction was set aside, reinforcing the necessity of due process in property disputes.
