SUIT FOR PERPETUAL INJUNCTION APPEAL BEFORE Justice B.V. Nagarathna AND Justice N Kotiswar Singh 

The term “injunction” is derived from the Latin term “injungere” which translates “to enjoin” or to “issue an authoritative command.” It is a form of preventive or mandatory relief and is codified under the Specific Relief Act, 1963 (hereinafter referred to as “SRA, 1963”). Injunctions are generally categorised into two types: temporary (interlocutory) and permanent (perpetual). As the very expression denotes, a “temporary” injunction is one that is in force for a limited duration of time, whereas a permanent injunction is one that remains in force forever. Temporary injunctions are governed in accordance with Order 39, Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. As opposed to this, permanent injunctions are governed in accordance with the SRA, 1963.
