    Adv Mr.R.P.Oza for defendant present.
    FRSR following order is passed-
    O R D E R
    1. The Notice of Motion No.2791 of 2021 is allowed.
    2.Defendants are hereby directed to open the lock of the main gate of the Old Army Market and allow the entry to plaintiff to his shop within 3 days from date of this order.
    3.Plaintiff is hereby directed to remove all the CCTV cameras installed by him in and around his shop under the supervision of authorised personnel appointed by defendant No. 2 immediately after opening the lock by the defendant No. 2.
    4.Defendants are further directed not to obstruct the plaintiff while entering in his shop and conducting the business till final disposal of the suit.
    5.Defendants are further directed not to act upon the circular bearing No. 8271/15/Legal/AM dated 14/08/2021 till final disposal of this suit.
    6.Plaintiff is at liberty to apply to defendant No. 2 for permission to install CCTV cameras and defendant No. 2 may pass necessary orders in that regard considering the fact of security threat if any caused by such installation of CCTV cameras.
    7.Cost of this notice of motion will following main cause.
    8.Notice of Motion No. 2791 of 2021 is disposed of accordingly.
    Adv for defendants filed application for stay of order TOR
    After declaring the operative part of the order on dias, Ld. advocate for defendants filed an application at Exh.8 for staying the order for the period of 8 weeks from today to enable the defendants to challenge the same before Hon\''ble High Court. Ld. advocate for plaintiff opposes the application on the ground that the shop is closed since March, 2020. This is the source of income for the plaintiff. This Court has already allowed NM No.653/19 on 28.02.2019 and defendants were directed to remove the seal within 3 days from the receipt of information of that order and not to obstruct plaintiff while conducting the business. This is the second motion of plaintiff which is allowed. Therefore, she submits that the application may be rejected.
    I have heard both the Ld advocates at length.
    While passing the order I have held that plaintiff will suffer irreparable loss if the motion is not allowed. Suit property is the source of income for plaintiff. However, at the same time the right of defendants to challenge the order of this Court needs to be considered. Considering all these factors the application is partly allowed and the order passed in NM No.2791/21 is stayed for the period of 4 weeks from today. Parties to note and act accordingly.
    Matter is adjd. to 04.03.2022 for hearing.

    Adv. Shaikh present for plaintiff and tendered draft Notice of Motion @ Affidavit. t.o.r.
    O- Leave granted to register.
    Ld. adv. For plaintiff submitted to grant ad interim relief in terms of prayer clause(a) and (b).
    Heard arguments ld. Adv. For plaintiff and ld adv. For defendants.
    Following order is passed as to ad-interim relief on draft notice of motion.
    Order- Perused the draft notice of motion, affidavit in support of same and record. Heard both the sides.
         In short it is the submission of the plaintiff that, defendants have disobeyed the order dt. 28/02/2019 on nm no. 653/2019 and order dt. 02/02/2022 on nm no. 2791/2021 and therefore, plaintiff has prayed for grant of ad-interim relief. Ld. Adv. For plaintiff kept his reliance on the following judgments.
    1.  CENTURY FLOUR MILLS LTD. V/S. S. SUPPIAH AND ORS.
          MANU/TN/0217/1975
    2.  ALL BENGAL EXCISE LICENSEES ASSOCIATION V/S. RAGHABENDRA SINGH AND OTHERS- ( 2007) 11 Supreme Court Cases 374.
    Court has gone through the observations therein.
        On the other hand ld. Adv. For defendants argued that, defendants have not disobeyed any of the above order and no relief claim can be granted unless court comes to the conclusion that, defendants have disobeyed the above order.
             From the matter on record it appears that, notice of motion no. 653/2019 and notice of motion no. 2791/2021 taken out by the plaintiff were made absolute and interim relief were granted. According to plaintiff, defendants have disobeyed the above orders. On the other hand it is the contention of defendants that they have complied the orders and they have not disobeyed the orders. The observations in the judgment sited supra is relied by the ld. Adv. For plaintiff regarding inherent power of court U/s. 151 of CPC are not disputed. However, considering the nature of reliefs claim. It appears necessary that, court will have to record finding that, defendants disobeyed the above order. Therefore, the opportunity of filling reply will have to be given to the defendants and there appear  no urgency for grant of the ad-interim reliefs as sought. As such court find that, plaintiff failed to make out strong prima facie case for grant of ad-interim reliefs as prayed. Hence, prayer of plaintiff for grant of ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (a) and (b) is dismissed.
    Authenticated copy of Roznama be given to both the parties if requested.
    Adv. For plaintiff also tendered draft Notice of Motion @ Affidavit. t.o.r.

    Adv. R. P. Ojha for defendants present.
    Heard Ld. Adv. for both sides on NM No.1943/2022
     ORDER ON NOTICE OF MOTION NO.1943/2022
        This Notice of Motion is taken out by plaintiff for punishing the defendants under Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 for breach of interim injunction order dated 02.02.2022 in Notice of Motion No.2791/2021. According to plaintiff, that order was not complied with in true sense. The sum and substance of the contention of plaintiff that, on 21.03.2022, defendants allowed the plaintiff to enter into market area however immediately after plaintiffs entry Ld. Army Area Commandant locked the main gate saying that, main gate would be opened only for ingress and egress of the plaintiff. This was continued thereafter. As such, according to plaintiff, there is a breach of interim injunction order and therefore this NM is taken out.
           Defendant Nos.1 to 3 filed their reply and objected the notice of motion on the ground that, only to facilitate the staff of Army and their family members for purchasing, permissions were given to run business and not to facilitate public as it is a high security and sensitive area. As per order of the Court, plaintiff was allowed to ingress and egress. There is no contempt on part of defendants. Defendants prayed for dismissal of NM.
         The plaintiff also filed rejoinder and denied the contents in reply of defendants.
       I thoughtfully considered rival contentions. The plaintiff only relied upon affidavits in support of NM and photographs without any certificate under section 65B of Evidence Act. Ld. Adv. for defendants brought to my notice the Execution Application No.222/2022 filed by the present plaintiff for execution of the same interim injunction order dated 02.02.2022 passed in NM No.2791/2021. The Ld. Judge of City Civil Court in a order dated 04.01.2023 observed that, the order sought to be enforced ex-facie does not reveal that, Court directed defendants to allow entry of customers of plaintiffs from main gate. The Ld. Judge held that, defendants have not breached or violated the order dated 02.02.2022 in NM No.2791/2021. The Ld. Judge went further to observe that, from the matter on record, it is clear that, defendants have obeyed and complied the order in that NM. By observing so, the Ld. Judge dismissed execution application on 04.01.2023.
          The Notice of Motion, which before me is based upon the alleged breach of order dated 02.02.2022 which was also alleged in that execution application. The alleged incidents of breach in this NM and that execution application are same. In this scenario, once the Court has observed that, there is no breach of that order on part of defendants, plaintiff cannot expect any contrary order from this Court. The fact as to whether there is a breach or not is already decided. Moreover this NM is not under Order 39 Rule 2A of C.P.C. On the contrary, it is under Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. It is settled legal position that, as there is a provision under Order 39 Rule 2A of C.P.C. to deal with breach of injunction order, for breach of that order provisions of Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 cannot be invoked. To sum up, the NM is devoid of merits and liable to dismissed. Hence, I pass following order
    ORDER
    1. Notice of Motion No.1943/2022 is dismissed.
    2. Cost in cause.
    3.  Notice of Motion No.1943/2022 is disposed off accordingly.
    Matter adjourned for draft issues to 27.11.2026.
