Without making a prayer for permanent injunction in plaint, no temporary injunction can be granted

In Ibrahim Ali Barbhuiya vs Musstt Rustana Begum before the Guwahati High Court, the review petitioner have prayed for ad-interim injunction for restraining the opposite parties from disturbing the possession of the petitioners in respect of the land mentioned in Schedule-2 to 5 of the plaint. As this Court would have to deal with the same set of facts in both the cases, for convenience, both the matters have been heard and decided together.

The review petitioners are the appellants in RFA 63/2016, and they are the plaintiffs in T.S. 13/1997. The said suit was for declaration of title and partition. The said suit was dismissed by the judgment and decree dated 05.09.2016 passed by the learned Civil Judge, Hailakandi, inter-alia, on the ground that the suit was not maintainable in its present form and that the suit was bad for non-joinder of necessary parties. However, liberty was granted that the petitioners are not precluded from instituting a suit afresh by impleading all the necessary parties. The said judgment is assailed in the accompanying RFA 63/2016.

The Court while dismissing the review petition found that only temporary injunction has been prayed and referring to the decision of the Guwahati Court in the case of Gadadhar Barman Vs. Ranendra Mohan Paul held that without making a prayer for permanent injunction in the plaint, no temporary injunction can be granted.

Deposit Of Minimum 20% Fine/Compensation U/s 148 NI Act Mandatory

In OP(Crl.).No.348 OF 2019, T.K.SAJEEVAN vs FRANCIS T.CHACKO, the appeal was filed against the order of the lower court to deposit 25% of the fine before filling of appeal. The appellant argued that the deposit introduced through the Section 148 of the NI Act after amendment was directory in nature as it used the term 'may' while mentioning the issue of deposit. The Kerala High Court however disagreeing held that in view of the object of the Legislature while incorporating Section 148 into N.I. Act, the word 'may' will have to be read as 'shall'. The imposition of payment contemplated under Section 148 N.I. Act cannot be restricted to some prosecutions and evaded in other prosecutions. Since the amount directed to be deposited being compensation, undoubtedly, it is liable to be ordered to be deposited irrespective of the nature of the prosecution. Therefore, the word 'may' can only be taken to have the colour and meaning of 'shall' and there

Jurisdiction of consumer forum is not ousted even if the other party has filed suit on the same matter in Civil Court

In Yashwant Rama Jadhav v. Shaukat Hussain Shaikh, First Appeal No. 1229 of 2017, decided on 18.11.2017,  the grievance of the petitioner before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission was that appellants/complainants had entered into agreements with the respondents for purchase of residential flats, which the respondents were to construct and despite paying the substantial amount to the respondents, the construction of the flats had not been completed. The State Commission dismissed the complaints and ruled in favor of respondents against which the appellants approached the National Commission.

Thus the remedy available under the Consumer Protection Act is an additional remedy, which Parliament has made available to a consumer. Even
