IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO QUASHING THE IMPUGNED ORDER FOUND AT ANNEXURE-A DATED 22/06/2026 PASSED BY THE LEARNED ADDITIONAL CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC, SAKALESHAPURA IN OS NO. 122/2036 VIDE ANNEXURE- A PASSED IN RESPECT OF IA NO. 1 ORDERING ISSUANCE OF SUMMONS AND NOTICE TO THE RESPONDENTS CONSEQUENTIALLY ALLOW IA NO. 1 VIDE ANNEXURE-A. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33156 WP No. 19803 of 2026 ORAL ORDER The petitioners are before this Court, aggrieved by the order dated 22.06.2026 passed in I.A.No.1 in O.S.No.122/2026 by the I Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Sakaleshpura, wherein instead of deciding the application on its merits, the trial Court had issued suit summons to the defendants. 2. Learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner has relied on the judgment of the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in case of Dhalitha Vividha Gramodyoga Kaigarika Sahakara Sanga Niyamitha (R) Vs Samatha Sainika Dal SSD, arising out of W.P.No.35488/2025(GM-CPC) dated 09.12.2025, whereby the Court had observed as follows: "6. This Court does not find any need or necessity to issue notice to the respondent- defendant for the reason that the petitioner is questioning the non-passing of the order on the application in IA.No.1, wherein the trial Court has neither passed any order for grant of an ad interim ex parte order of temporary injunction or for rejection of the same. 7. When an application is filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of CPC by the plaintiff along with the plaint seeking an ad interim ex parte order of temporary injunction, it becomes the duty and obligation of the trial Court to consider the same and pass suitable orders either granting or rejecting the ad interim ex parte order of - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33156 WP No. 19803 of 2026 temporary injunction. This Court in the case of Karnataka State Cricket Association vs. Mr.Shashidhara A.V. in WP.No.33725/2025 [Decided on 17.11.2025] has made certain observations and guidelines as to how the trial Court has to deal with an application filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of CPC. It is not optional for the trial Court to merely issue notice to the defendant before passing an interim order of temporary injunction against the defendant. 8. The trial Court will also have to consider judgments of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the cases of Shiv Kumar Chadha vs. Municipal Corporation of Delhi and others reported in (1993)3 SCC 161, Time City Infrastructure and Housing Limited Lucknow vs. State of U.P. and Others reported in 2025 SCC Online SC 1674 and the judgment of the Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Vedant Fashions Pvt. Ltd., vs. Smt.Rajul Devi reported in 2014 SCC OnLine Kar 7191 while deciding the application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of CPC. 9. It is brought to the notice of this Court that notice is yet to be served on the defendant. Therefore, it would be appropriate for this Court to direct the trial Court to decide the application either granting or rejecting an ad interim ex parte order of temporary injunction by providing proper reasons." 3. In the light of the same, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. The order dated 22.06.2026 passed in I.A.No.1 in O.S.No.122/2026 by the I Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Sakaleshpura, is set aside. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33156 WP No. 19803 of 2026 ii. The trial Court shall decide I.A.No.1 on the merits of the case, irrespective of whether the suit summons are served on the defendants or not and shall pass orders in accordance with law within one week from the date of receipt of the copy of the order. iii. The petitioners are at liberty to make a request for advance hearing of the case. iv. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. v. All I.As. in this petition shall stand closed.
