2. On the date of hearing, the applicants were represented by MIKE LYIMO, and Miraji, learned advocates. Mr. Daniel Lyimo, learned advocate represented the respondent. He conceded to the application.

3. On my part, I have read the affidavit and satisfied myself that; the conditions for grant of temporary injunction set out in order 37 rule (2) of the CPC have been established in the affidavit. There are serious contentious issues in the pending suit exhibited in the plaint and counter claim. The suit property as irrefutably deposed in the affidavit, is a commercial building occupied by tenants. Obviously therefore, if the order is not granted, the applicants may suffer irreparably. I am in the circumstance also satisfied myself that the applicants stand in a position to suffer more if the order is not granted that the respondent would if the same is granted.

4. For those reasons therefore, the application is granted. The respondent either by herself or through any of her agenct whomsoever are hereby restrained from disposing of, selling, evicting from or in any way interfering with the applicant's possession and occupation of the suit property pending hearing and determination of the civil case number 9 of 2018.
