Interlocutory orders

Interlocutory refers to an order, sentence, decree, or judgment, given in an intermediate stage between the commencement and termination of a cause of action, used to provide a temporary or provisional decision on an issue. After the suit is instituted by the plaintiff and before it is finally disposed off, the Court may make interlocutory orders as may appear to the court to be just and convenient. The power to grant Interlocutory orders can be traced to Section 94 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Interlocutory orders may take various shapes depending upon the requirement of the respective parties during the pendency of the suit.
