Appellate Courts Can Grant Interim Relief Even if Suit Was Dismissed: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court held that appellate courts retain power to grant interim relief even when the trial court has dismissed the suit. The Court reasoned that appeals are continuation of proceedings, and appellate courts must protect litigants from irreparable harm while adjudicating the appeal. The judgment clarifies criteria such as prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury. It prevents frustration of appeals and ensures parties are not prejudiced due to trial court dismissal.
