As per this injunction, the petitioner is prohibited from transferring the suit property till the final disposal of suit. The petitioner and respondent are the step brother and sister. The respondent has filed suit for partition and possession of the suit property and claimed prohibitory orders which were granted by the courts below. In my opinion, such orders are necessary for preserving the suit property. It has been proved that the petitioner is trying to dispose of the suit property. Under these circumstances, if the suit :2: :2: :2: properties are not protected the suit will become infructuous. There is no merit in the petition. Petition is hereby rejected. 2.
