Courts grant injunctions based on specific legal principles established under the Specific Relief Act and case law:

Three Essential Conditions:

• Prima Facie Case: Applicant must show strong probability of success in main case
• Balance of Convenience: Greater hardship to applicant if injunction not granted
• Irreparable Injury: Harm cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages

Prima Facie Case Requirements:

• Legal Rights: Clear legal or equitable right in dispute subject matter
• Right Violation: Violation or threatened violation of legal rights
• Strong Evidence: Documentary or other evidence supporting claim
• Legal Standing: Proper legal capacity to file the application

Balance of Convenience Test:

• Comparative Hardship: Whether applicant or respondent suffers greater harm
• Status Quo Maintenance: Preserving existing position pending trial
• Public Interest: Whether granting injunction serves public interest

Irreparable Injury Assessment:

• Monetary Inadequacy: Damages cannot adequately compensate the loss
• Continuing Harm: Ongoing or repeated violations causing cumulative damage
• Reputation Damage: Harm to goodwill, reputation, or business standing
• Unique Subject Matter: Property or rights that cannot be replaced

When urgent action is needed to prevent immediate and irreversible harm, courts can grant emergency relief:

Ex-parte Injunction Grounds:

• Extreme Urgency: Immediate action required to prevent harm
• Irreversible Consequences: Delay would cause permanent damage

• Regular Hearing: Matter listed for regular hearing with both parties
