Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to maintain a temporary injunction preventing the appellant from interfering with the respondent's functioning as General Secretary of the South Eastern Railway Mens' Union, despite the appellant's claims of subsequent elections and changes in office bearers. The Court emphasized the need to respect the ongoing legal proceedings regarding the respondent's status within the Union, as per the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically Order 39 Rules 1 and 2. The Court found no grounds to vacate the injunction, affirming the lower court's ruling pending resolution of the suit.
