Mr v.Munikrishna v. Mr L Ravi
Interim injunction – construction over suit schedule property
Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court (Lalitha Kanneganti, J.), WP No. 17376 of 2026 (GM-CPC), decided 19-06-2026. Certiorari under Articles 226/227 against appellate order in M.A.No.23/2026 granting pendente lite injunction restraining further construction in O.S.No.910/2020 (specific performance suit valued at Rs.97,59,750/-). Themes: delay and latches in filing injunction application at third-floor construction stage; balance of convenience; multiplicity of proceedings answered by prior High Court interim orders (MFA.No.1026/2023 / MFA.No.1023/2026) barring alienation, encumbrance and third-party rights; construction funded by bank loan; condition against letting out the property. Outcome: appellate order set aside, construction permitted subject to MFA order, petition disposed of. Useful for arguments on interplay between successive interlocutory orders and injunction pendente lite in specific performance suits.
