#interlocutory relief

The Karnataka High Court held that once a commercial court reserves orders on an interlocutory application, appellate courts cannot intervene with interim relief, even if irreparable harm is alleged. This ruling reinforces judicial hierarchy and prevents bypassing of procedural timelines in commercial disputes, impacting litigants seeking urgent relief during reserved judgments.

Calcutta High Court rules that courts must grant ad interim injunctions in preemption suits upon establishing a prima facie case, deferring limitation issues to trial. The judgment clarifies that interlocutory relief cannot be denied based on unpleaded limitation arguments raised for the first time in appeal.
