- In India, an injunction is a legal remedy available to parties who wish to prevent the other party from carrying out a certain action or behavior.
- Injunctions can be granted in a variety of situations, such as in cases of intellectual property infringement, breach of contract, or defamation.
- An injunction is a powerful legal tool that acts as a court order requiring a party to do or cease doing specific actions.
- It plays a crucial role in many legal battles, serving as a preventive measure to stop legal wrongs or as a remedy to enforce rights.
- Injunctions are a discretionary remedy and the court will consider various factors before deciding whether to grant an injunction.
- In India, the law regarding injunction is provided under the Specific Relief Act, 1963 and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
- If a party violates the injunction, they may be held in contempt of court and could face penalties such as fines or imprisonment.
