Injunction

What happens if an application for injunction is made against an act already done?
For example, payment has been legally made to a certain defendant but the plaintiff has filed for application under 39 for both mandatory and temporary injunction.
Now what will happen as the payment was made a year ago.

Any remedies or is this injunction even maintainable?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the validity of seeking an injunction for an action that has already been completed, such as a payment made a year prior. The consensus is that an injunction is typically sought to prevent a future action or stop an ongoing one. Therefore, an injunction to prevent or prohibit an act that has already occurred is generally considered invalid or 'infructuous' as the action cannot be undone.

Injuction is prayed either to prevent an action from being done or to stop an ongoing action. Query does not specify which action requires prevention / prohibition. Payment done can not be prevented or prohibited, as action completed. Prayer for injuction is infractous.
