Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 CPC | Family Courts Must Set Fixed Deadline for Injunction Disposal in Matrimonial Disputes to Uphold Article 21 : Punjab & Haryana HC

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that interim injunctions in matrimonial property disputes cannot remain open-ended - courts must fix a concrete disposal date to prevent procedural delay and protect the right to timely justice under Article 21. This sets a binding precedent for Family Courts to treat injunction applications as time-sensitive matters, not procedural placeholders.
