IA No.6666/2012 (under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 CPC) Having heard the learned senior counsel for the plaintiffs and scrutinized the plaint, the application and the complaint filed alongwith the plaint, the Court is of the opinion that the plaintiffs have made out a prima facie case for the grant of an ex parte ad interim injunction in their favour. The balance of convenience is also tilted in favour of the plaintiffs and against the defendants. Irreparable injury is likely to be caused to the reputation and goodwill of the plaintiff No.2 in case the defendants are not restrained from disseminating the information allegedly in their possession in the form of a CD. Accordingly, issue notice of this application to the defendants No.1 to 4, returnable for the date fixed. Till the next date, the defendants, their agents and all others acting for and/or on their behalf are restrained from publishing, broadcasting, disseminating or distributing in any form or manner the contents of any alleged CD or any other material as described in the plaint in relation to the plaintiff No.2. The provisions of Order XXXIX Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be complied with by the plaintiffs within three days from today. A copy of this order be given dasti to the counsel for the plaintiffs under the signatures of the Court Master, as prayed. REVA KHETRAPAL, J. APRIL 13, 2012 sk
