In Brief
Rajasthan State Warehousing Corporation challenged an interim order that imposed a status quo and directed that no contract could be signed without Court permission. The Supreme Court held that while it generally does not interfere in interim orders, interference was warranted here because the interim relief impinged upon the State's contractual rights without serving the public interest and lacked adequate reasoning. The Court allowed the appeals and granted status quo, emphasizing that interim orders affecting state contracts require careful judicial scrutiny and must be justified in the public interest.
