Punjab & Haryana High Court Judgement
Court fees – Suit for prohibitory and mandatory injunction Court Fees Act – S.7(iv)(d) – The determination of court fees in suits concerning prohibitory and mandatory injunctions hinges on the relief sought, not the property’s market value. Specifically, in matters involving immovable property, the valuation should align with the relief sought in the suit. The evaluation should focus primarily on the nature and extent of the relief or reliefs claimed in the case. It’s essential to consider the specific injunction sought and its implications rather than solely relying on the market value of the property. The determination of court fees necessitates a direct correlation with the nature and scope of the injunction sought in the suit. Valuation in such cases should primarily consider the relief’s significance and the specific nature of the injunction sought. Therefore, the determination of court fees must align with the relief claimed and not solely the property’s market value.
