¶20

By way of ad-interim relief, we restrain the respondents from creating third party interests in respect of the suit property.”

¶21

The learned counsel appearing for the applicants states that

¶22

the applicants are willing to furnish solvent surety to the extent of the present market value of the suit property as per the ready reckoner.

¶23

Learned counsel appearing for the 1^st respondent submits that furnishing of the solvent surety will be meaningless. The application is opposed by the learned counsel for the 1^st respondent.

¶24

The applicants are the appellants in the First Appeal. The substantive First appeal has been admitted by this Court for final hearing. In this application, the prayer is for grant of interim relief restraining the respondents from creating third party rights. During the pendency of the suit, the applicants were protected by grant of interim injunction. To take care of the contingency of the applicants failing in the First Appeal, they have shown willingness to secure the loss which may be caused to the 1^st respondent who is stated to be in possession of the suit property.

¶25

In our view, the applicants will have to furnish adequate security for an amount equivalent to the present market value of the suit property as per the ready reckoner to the satisfaction of the Trial Court as a condition for the grant of interim relief.
