The grant of a temporary injunction is a discretionary power of the court. To obtain this relief, the applicant must satisfy three primary conditions: (1) a prima facie case, (2) the balance of convenience in their favor, and (3) the likelihood of irreparable loss if the injunction is not granted. While often grouped into these three, they are frequently cited as four distinct elements including the legal right of the applicant.

Temporary injunctions are provisional measures granted by a court to maintain the status quo. They remain effective either for a fixed period as determined by the court or until the court issues a subsequent order to modify, vacate, or finalize the relief, ensuring that the subject matter of the suit is preserved during litigation.

Order XXXIX of the Code of Civil Procedure provides the legal framework for the court to grant temporary injunctions and pass various interlocutory orders. These measures are essential to maintain the status quo and protect the subject matter of the suit until the final adjudication of the case, ensuring that the rights of the parties are not irreparably harmed during the pendency of the litigation.

Rules 6 through 10 of Order XXXIX of the Code of Civil Procedure specifically address the court's power to issue interlocutory orders. These include provisions for the detention, preservation, inspection, and sale of property that is the subject matter of the suit, ensuring that the status quo of the disputed property is maintained until the final adjudication.

Order XXXIX, Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides a legal mechanism for the discharge, variation, or setting aside of an injunction order. This rule allows a party affected by an injunction to approach the court to challenge the order if there has been a change in circumstances or if the order was obtained through misrepresentation.

An affidavit is considered an essential document when filing an application for a temporary injunction under the Code of Civil Procedure. It serves as a sworn statement of facts that supports the applicant's claim, providing the court with the necessary evidentiary basis to consider granting interim relief before the final trial concludes.

Order XXXIX, Rule 5 of the C.P.C. explicitly states that an injunction directed to a corporation is binding not only on the corporation itself but also on all its officers and members. This provision ensures that the legal entity and the individuals acting on its behalf are legally compelled to adhere to the court's directive, preventing circumvention of the order.

Specific performance is an equitable remedy where a court compels a party to fulfill their contractual obligations. Under the Limitation Act, the period for filing a suit for specific performance of a contract is three years from the date fixed for performance, or if no such date is fixed, when the plaintiff has notice that performance is refused.

Section 55 of the Specific Relief Act specifically addresses mandatory injunctions. A mandatory injunction is a court order that compels a party to perform a specific act to prevent the breach of an obligation or to restore the status quo. This is distinct from prohibitory injunctions, which are covered under other sections and serve to prevent an act from occurring.

Section 45 of the Specific Relief Act, 1877, grants the High Court the specific power to issue orders requiring any person, corporation, or inferior court to perform or refrain from performing specific acts. This jurisdiction is limited to the High Court, ensuring that such significant powers are exercised by the superior judiciary.
