The principles which govern the grant of interim relief in a legal proceeding in a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India follow the same spirit and sense as the ones contemplated under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).: Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh High Court
The Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh High Court passed a judgement on the 26th of September, 2022 in which the court dismissed the petition. This was seen in the case of Hindu Bhushan And Others vs Commissioner/Secretary (WP(C) No. 1679/2021 CM Nos. 7365/2021, 6554/2021 & 7516/2021).
