Procedural Posture
Miscellaneous Land Application / Ruling on Preliminary Objection and Application for Injunction
Legal Issues
- 1 Whether the joint affidavit's verification clause is legally defective
- 2 Whether the applicants are entitled to injunctive relief restraining eviction and demolition pending the main suit
Ratio Decidendi
The joint affidavit's verification clause, though collective, is sufficient in the context and not legally defective. The applicants have established a prima facie case with triable issues regarding compensation, face irreparable harm if evicted, and the balance of convenience favours them. Injunctive relief is warranted to preserve the status quo pending determination of the main suit.
Court Disposition
Application granted
Orders
- Preliminary objection dismissed
- Injunction granted restraining respondent from eviction, demolition, alienation, or destruction of applicants' properties pending determination of the main suit
