of <h1>Setting Aside Ex Parte Injunction Emphasizes Urgency and Balance in Legal Proceedings</h1> <h3>Institute of Indian Foundrymen & Anr. Versus Dr. Navojit Basu & Ors.</h3> Institute of Indian Foundrymen & Anr. Versus Dr. Navojit Basu & Ors. - TMI Issues: Ex parte ad interim injunction, Urgency in filing suit, Balance of convenience, Doctrine of indoor management, Jurisdiction of Appellate Court, Disposal of appeal, Timely consideration of injunction application.Analysis:The judgment pertains to a case where the plaintiffs, claiming to be bonafide members of the petitioner society, had been unfairly expelled and requisitioned an extraordinary general meeting. The Trial Court initially declined the ex parte ad interim order citing lack of urgency in filing the suit promptly after the cause of action arose. The Court emphasized the commendable test of urgency needed to be met by the plaintiffs. However, the Appellate Court, without considering the Trial Court's reasons for refusal, restrained the petitioner society from passing resolutions at the annual general meeting, overlooking the balance of convenience and the nature of business conducted at such meetings.Moreover, the Appellate Court failed to consider the doctrine of indoor management, which restricts court interference in internal matters of corporate bodies unless fraud or injustice is evident. The judgment highlighted that an ex parte order is an exception and should not be granted automatically upon filing a suit or appeal. The Court emphasized the importance of assessing the merits and balance of convenience before granting interim relief, cautioning against the assumption that an order must be passed merely due to the pendency of a legal action.Consequently, the judgment set aside the Appellate Court's order as irregular, directing the Trial Court to expedite the plaintiffs' injunction application within a month. The parties were instructed to inform the Appellate Court for record-keeping, and a timeline was set for filing objections and rejoinders. Additionally, the judgment addressed the plaintiffs' complaint regarding non-service of pleadings, requiring the plaintiffs' counsel to provide copies to the defendants' advocate promptly.In conclusion, the judgment emphasized the importance of due process, balance of convenience, and adherence to legal principles while considering ex parte injunctions and appellate jurisdiction, ensuring fairness and proper adjudication in the legal proceedings.
