JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI ORAL ORDER The petitioner is before this Court questioning the Order dated 03.03.2025 passed by the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Bangalore Rural in O.S. No.405/2025, wherein the Court has issued suit summons on I.A. No.1 and 2. It is submitted that in the light of the urgency, an ad interim injunction was sought. The Trial Court, instead of considering the same on the merits of the matter, issued suit summons. 2. Learned counsel has relied upon the judgment of co-ordinate bench of this Court in Dhalitha Vividha GramodyogaKaigarikaSahakara Sanga Niyamitha (R) Vs Samatha Sainika Dal SSD, arising out of W.P.No.35488/2025(GM-CPC)dated 09.12.2025, whereby Co-ordinate Bench of this Court has 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 - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010467902026 NC: 2026:KHC:36559 WP No. 21324 of 2026 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 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 - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010467902026 NC: 2026:KHC:36559 WP No. 21324 of 2026 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 contentions of the learned Senior counsel and also considering the judgment of the co-ordinate bench of this Court in Dhalitha Vividha GramodyogaKaigarika Sahakara Sanga Niyamitha (R) (supra), this Court is passing the following: ORDER (i) The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Trial Court to consider I.A.No.1 and 2 within a period of 1 week from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, notwithstanding the fact that the suit summons are not served on the defendants. (ii) All pending I.As., in the Writ Petition shall stand disposed of. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE GVP-List No.: 1 Sl No.: 27
