These factors may include the urgency of the matter, the balance of convenience, and the likelihood of success in the underlying lawsuit.<\/li>\n<li>Types of Injunctions in India:\n<ul>\n<li>Temporary Injunctions: They are granted to\u00a0preserve the status quo\u00a0until a final decision\u00a0can be reached. These are usually granted at the start of a case and can last for the duration of the legal proceedings.<\/li>\n<li>Permanent Injunctions: They are\u00a0granted after the court has made a\u00a0final determination in the case. They\u00a0prohibit\u00a0the defendant\u00a0from continuing a particular action or behavior.<\/li>\n<li>Mandatory Injunctions: They\u00a0require\u00a0the defendant\u00a0to carry out a particular action.\u00a0They are often granted in\u00a0cases of breach of contract, where the plaintiff requires the defendant to\u00a0fulfill their contractual obligations.<\/li>\n<li>Prohibitory Injunctions:\u00a0They prohibit the defendant from\u00a0carrying out a particular action\u00a0or behavior.

This Act was enacted in 1963 following the approach that when a person has withdrawn himself from the performance of a particular promise or a contract with respect to another person, the other person so aggrieved is entitled to a relief under Specific Relief Act, 1963. This Act is considered to be in one of the branches of the Indian Contracts Act, 1872.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livelaw.in\/supreme-court\/injunction-suit-to-protect-possession-not-maintainable-when-plaintiffs-title-is-disputed-supreme-court-250281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><u>Injunction Suit To Protect Possession Not Maintainable When Plaintiff&#8217;s Title Is Disputed: Supreme Court<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injunction  is a legal remedy available to parties who wish to prevent the other party from carrying out a certain action or behavior. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20853,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-upsc-prelims-current-affairs","8":"no-featured-image-padding"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
