The exercise of discretion is not nullified simply because the judge makes a determination on the merits of the prima facie claim. In contrast, the decisions in <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em>Parksons<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em>Goldmines<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"> took a divergent view, holding that an order on a temporary injunction application amounts to a prima facie adjudication of the parties&#39; rights and not merely an exercise of judicial discretion.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">Thus, by an order dated 15th December 2014, it referred the matter for consideration by a larger Bench on the following:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT\"><strong>(i) Whether order passed on an application for temporary injunction is prima facie adjudication and not an exercise of discretion <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT\"><strong>(ii) Scope of appeal from an order of the trial court on an application of injunction.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">Such reference to a larger bench arises out of a trademark dispute. The Appellants, producers of spirits and liquors, including Scotch whiskey and vodka, claimed ownership of marks such as <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em>Mansion House<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em>Savoy Club<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">, which they alleged had been misappropriated by the Respondent. The Appellants had initially granted a license in 1983 to the Respondent to use their trademarks but alleged later that the Respondent sought to deceptively register the same marks in India, amounting to dishonest and mala fide conduct. When the trial court declined to grant a temporary injunction to restrain the use of the marks, the matter reached the Appellate court.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">At the outset, the larger bench delved into the origin of injunction through statutory framework and common law doctrines and then eventually analyzed the essential elements while granting an injunction laid in <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT\"><strong>&ldquo;trinity test&rdquo;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"> &mdash;namely, the existence of a prima facie case, the balance of convenience, and the risk of irreparable injury.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">The bench primarily referred to<\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em> American Cynamid Co.

Prahlad Singh And Ors.,1992(1) SCC 719 <\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\">which held <\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"> that the court should be satisfied that there is a bona fide substantial question raised which needs investigation and decision on merits.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">In regard to balance of convenience, the court observed that, in determining whether to grant an injunction, it must consider two key aspects. Firstly, it must assess whether the plaintiff would suffer injury through a violation of their rights&mdash;injury that could not be adequately remedied through damages if the eventual outcome of the case were in the plaintiff&rsquo;s favour. Secondly, the Court must also consider whether the defendant might face harm by being restrained from exercising their legal rights&mdash;harm that would not be adequately compensated even if the uncertainty were later resolved in the defendant&rsquo;s favour at trial.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">The Court concluded that it must determine whether, in the absence of a temporary injunction, the applicant would suffer irreparable harm. Noting that the grant of ad-interim injunction is discretionary, it stated, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT'\"><strong><em><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">&ldquo;A party is not entitled to an order of injunction as a matter of right. The grant of interlocutory injunction is a remedy which is discretionary in nature. However, such a discretion has to be exercised on the touchstone of trinity test viz. prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable injury.&rdquo;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Thus, ultimately the court determined The <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT\"><em><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Colgate<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"> case lays down the correct legal position, affirming that an order on a temporary injunction remains a discretionary one, even if the trial court declines relief on the ground that no prima facie case has been established.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT'\"><strong><em><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">&ldquo;The Division Bench decision of this Court in COLGATE PALMOLIVE COMPANY (SUPRA) sets out the correct principle of law. An order of temporary injunction does not cease to be a discretionary order merely because the learned motion Judge did not find any prima facie case and refused to grant interim restraint order. It correctly holds that in the matter of temporary injunction, the Court does not adjudicate on the subject matter or any part of it on merits and considers the application for temporary injunction in the light of well-known principles and exercises its discretion weighing all relevant consideration without any expression of opinion on merits of the matter.&rdquo;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:18.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:18.67px\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Equally critical was the Court&rsquo;s interpretation of the appellate court&rsquo;s jurisdiction in such matters.
