ROBERT M.T vs JESTIN JOHN Advocate - DENNY JOSEPH — 194/2025

Summary: The petition for temporary prohibitory injunction filed by building contractor Robert M T against defendant Jestin John was dismissed without costs by the Munsiff Court, Kochi on 7th November 2025. The court found that the petitioner failed to establish the three essential ingredients required under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC: no prima facie case was made out since the petitioner's rights were limited to monetary claims which could be adjudicated in the main suit; the balance of convenience favored the defendant whose residential construction (at lintel stage) would suffer irreparable loss if halted; and the petitioner's injury was compensable in monetary terms, not irreparable. The dispute arose from a construction contract dispute involving alleged non-payment and wrongful termination by the defendant.
