Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka High Court erred in setting aside the order of the Additional City Civil Judge which granted a temporary injunction under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 CPC to the plaintiff-appellants. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs, having paid the full sale consideration and being in possession of the property, were entitled to protection against unlawful eviction. The Court reinstated the injunction, affirming the plaintiffs' right to peaceful possession until the suit's resolution.
