I HAVE DEALT THIS TOPIC IN PAST BUT

UNFORTUNATELY NOW A DAYS EVERY ONE WANTS

FAST FOOD.

ONLY A LAWYER OR A LAW STUDENT MAY BE

INTERESTED IN THESE TOPICS. TO REMIND YOU

THEN IS MY RIGHT THAT THERE IS NO ANSWER

TO HARD LABOR.LEARNING IS A ZEAL WHICH MUST

NOT DIE AT ANY POINT OF TIME.



ANYWAY NOW ADDRESSING TO YOUR QUEST.::

“Interlocutory” means, means not that

decides the cause but which only

settles some intervening matter

relating to the cause.

After the suit is instituted

and before it is finally

disposed off, the court may make

"interlocutory orders" as may appear


to the court to be just and convenient.

So the term it self speaks its meaning.'A'

is the point of institution of suit and 'z'

is the point of its' final decision;so all

orders passed between points 'a' and 'z'

are interlocutory orders.

. The power to grant Interlocutory orders

can be traced to Section 94 of C.P.C.

Section 94 summarises general powers of a

civil court in regard to different types of

interlocutory orders.

The detailed procedure has been set out in

the I Schedule of the C.P.C which deals

with Orders and Rules.

Interlocutory orders may take various

shapes depending upon the requirement of

the respective parties during the pendency

of the suit.

Applications for appointment of

Commissioner, Temporary Injunctions,

Receivers, payment into court, security for

cause, and etc.


The court is called upon to decide

questions regarding grant of temporary

injunction,receivers and commissions more

frequently than other interim orders.At

this juncture it might have gone it clear

to you the two terms'interlocutor'and

'interim'are siblings,synonymous to each

other as interim means 'in-between'.

Then nature or tenure of these orders are

temporary,for time being,they last unless

point 'z' is not arrived at.Hence what is

'not permanent' is called 'temporary'e.g.,

in a suit you may seek 'permanent

injunction'under Sections 38 to 42 of the

Specific Relief Act, 1963.;while before

your suit reaches for this point'z'you may

mean while invoke the provisions of Order

39 of the Code of Civil Procedure and it

may be granted at any stage of the suit

between points 'A'and 'z'


As regards to appeal,when a statute

recognizing a right does not provide for

an appeal against a source order,temporary

then we look if any revision[s115cpc]lies

and when we do not find even revision as

remedy against the source order we file

a writ under article 226 of the

constitution claiming no alternate left.
