SPECIALITY RESTAURANTS LIMITED vs KURIEN THOMAS Advocate - Srihari S — 1443/2024

Summary: The court dismissed the plaintiff's (Speciality Restaurants Limited) Interim Application No. 5 seeking a mandatory injunction to permit renovation, repairs, alterations, and modifications to leased premises on Church Street, Bengaluru. The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case, the balance of convenience did not favor the plaintiff, and no irreparable loss would result from denial. Additionally, the lease agreement explicitly required prior written consent from the lessor for any structural changes, a prior status quo order already restrained such works, and the relief sought was essentially the main relief disguised as interim relief—which is impermissible in law.
