SHOUMIK DE A R HAFIZ vs UTSAV DEY AND ANR — CO/3807/2024

Case Summary: CO/3807/2024 The High Court at Calcutta partially allowed Shoumik De's petition challenging the lower courts' rejection of his interim injunction request in a partition suit involving deity properties. While affirming the trial court's finding that De lacked prima facie case (the properties allegedly devolved to different ancestors), Justice Biswaroop Chowdhury granted limited interim protection given the disputed properties belong to deities. The court appointed special officers to investigate who performs daily worship and occupies the properties, remitted the injunction application to the trial court for reconsideration with a 6-week interim restraining order preventing property alienation, and disposed of the appellate proceedings.
