In Brief
The Supreme Court considered four consolidated civil appeals challenging a High Court order that set aside an interim temporary injunction restraining respondents from conducting an executive committee meeting. The trial court had granted the injunction to maintain status quo pending the suit. The Supreme Court held that an interim order passed by a trial court continues to operate and resuscitate pending the suit unless duly varied by the trial court itself. The Court set aside the High Court's order, as it concerned an interlocutory matter without bearing on the suit's outcome. With the parties' consent, the original interim order was restored, leaving all substantive contentions open for the trial court's determination.
