May 3, 2026 4 min read by Tahmidur Remura Wahid

When dealing with civil disputes in Bangladesh, understanding the implications and processes surrounding a temporary injunction is crucial. At TRW Law Firm, we specialize in navigating clients through the complexities of civil law, including injunctions that can serve to protect their rights while court proceedings are ongoing.

Overview of Temporary Injunctions in Bangladesh

A temporary injunction is a court order that aims to restrain a party from certain actions until a final decision is made. It is a critical legal tool that prevents irreparable harm during the pendency of a case, essentially maintaining the status quo while judicial proceedings are ongoing. This legal mechanism is embedded in the broader civil procedure framework of Bangladesh, closely interacting with legal notions such as equity and justice.

Relevant Laws and Sections

In Bangladesh, the provisions regarding temporary injunctions can be found primarily in the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) of 1908. The relevant sections include:

Section 94 of the CPC

This Section allows the court to issue injunctions at any stage of a suit, promoting just outcomes by preventing any action that could lead to injustice.

Section 95 of the CPC

This Section deals with the compensation that may be claimed by a party wrongfully restrained by an injunction.

Order 39 of the CPC

This particular order deals explicitly with temporary injunctions, providing a streamlined process through which a party can apply for such relief.

Specific Legislative Acts

In addition to the CPC, specific legislation may also provide for injunctions related to particular subjects, such as intellectual property rights or environmental laws.

Step-by-Step Process to Obtain a Temporary Injunction

The following steps outline the procedural pathway to apply for a temporary injunction in a civil case:

Step 1: Petition Drafting

The process begins with the drafting of a petition that sets forth the grounds upon which an injunction is sought. This must clearly articulate the reasons for the requested relief.

Step 2: Gathering Evidence

Evidence supporting the need for an injunction should be gathered, including documents, witness affidavits, and any other relevant material that substantiates the claim of impending harm.

Step 3: Filing the Application

The application must be filed in the appropriate civil court, along with any accompanying documents and a motion for urgency.

Step 4: Court Hearing

The court will set a date for a hearing where both parties can present arguments. The applicant must demonstrate the necessity for the injunction.

Step 5: Granting or Refusing the Injunction

After considering the arguments, the court will either grant or refuse the injunction. If granted, the injunction will be in effect until the suit is conclusively resolved.
