Mondelez India Foods Private Limited sought a temporary injunction to restrain defendants from obstructing the laying of an underground feeder line. The defendants resisted, claiming the plaintiff was attempting to lay the cable through their private properties. The trial court and appellate court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal, finding no fault with the exercise of discretion. The plaintiff then invoked the writ jurisdiction of the High Court. The High Court heard the matter and considered the principles of law for granting a temporary injunction.
