Therefore, injunction is granted restraining respondent from trespassing pending determination of the main suit.
The applicant failed to establish the three conditions required for a temporary injunction—irreparable loss, balance of convenience, and prima facie case—as the alleged loss is compensable in monetary terms and not irreparable.
The applicant established a prima facie case by showing the existence of a final arbitral award and pending enforcement proceedings. The risk of irreparable harm was demonstrated by the potential for misuse or alienation of rental income, which could not be adequately compensated by damages.
