The. chamber . summons thereof . is du.ly supported by the·· · affidavit deponed by the applicant Mr. RAHIM FIDAHUSSEtN JAN MOHAMED. In the heari~g of \he appl.ic:ation.. Mr. ·oaimu, · learned ad~ocate ~ •, '. . . . . .

That, the first respondent, without la'-".Vful cause has been attempting to terminated the lease. agreem.er:1t .and evictir:ig,- the_ applicant while claiming for 0 • I•' unjus_tified rent arrea·rs from the applicant: Mr. DaimLJ submitted that consequen~e to the first respondents . . . . demand and harassment the applicant decided to refer the matter before the court by filing a Land Case No. 1_ of 2011 against the first respondent.

Mr. Daimu submitteo that, in fear of the repercussions on . . alleged eviction, the applicant· decided to file this application under certificate of urgency seeking for inter-alia, an ex-parte interim order of injunction to refrain the first respondent, its servants, and agents from evicting hjm pending· full hearing and determination of the main application enter-partes. The learned advo"cate argued that if the exparte interim order is not granted the main application· and indeed the pending land case will be rendered nugato·ry ·because the respondent is_ bent to evict the applicant. As a result, contended Mr. Dai mu, the. applicant will suffer · irreparable loss because she have no alternative accommodation. Having gone through the applicant' s affidavit and having heard Mr. Daimu's submission, I am satisfied that in the interest of. justice the situation and circumstances of this matter requires an urgent restraint order against the first respondent from evicting the -4 partes. .: ·,,:.
