Temporary injunction under Rule 2 of Order XXXIX of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 can be granted

Under Order XXXIX, Rule 2(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, in any suit for restraining the defendant from committing a breach of contract or other injury of any kind, whether compensation is claimed in the suit or not, the plaintiff may apply to the court for a temporary injunction at any time after the commencement (institution) of the suit, and either before or after judgment. Unlike Rule 1, Rule 2 is confined to suits for restraining a breach of contract or other injury rather than any suit, and expressly permits the application to be made even after judgment. No temporary injunction under Order XXXIX, Rule 2 can be granted prior to the institution of the suit.
