  • Background: The petitioner filed an affidavit placing on record an application before the Civil Judge (West), Bhilwara, Rajasthan under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, in the pending Civil Suit No. 297 of 2024 (registered as Civil Misc. Case No. 272 of 2024). The Civil Judge granted an injunction, which was continued from time to time.
  • Subsequent Developments: As the injunction orders were not being implemented by the respondent, the petitioner filed another application under Section 151 of the CPC in the same Civil Suit No. 297 of 2024 before the Trial Court.
