"Maintain status Quo" vs "Permanent injunction"

What is the difference between "Maintain Status Quo" and "Permanent Injunction".

If in a civil suit for the dispute among the Trustees in a Charitable Trust (as per Indian Trust Act 1882), if one Trustee files an Interim Application for permanently injuction (so that other Trustees who are in majority cannot enter into Trust Property like schools and colleges under the Trust) against the other Trustees by creating some forged documents (as if other Trustees were removed). And the civil judge junior division passes an order to maintain status quo. He has not given any permanent injunction. He has passed an order to maintain status quo till the disposal of the original civil suit. What is the meaning of this? And what are the options available for the other Trustees?

permanent injunction n. a final order of a court that a person or entity refrain from certain activities permanently or take certain actions (usually to correct a nuisance) until completed. A permanent injunction is distinguished from a "preliminary" injunction which the court issues pending the outcome of a lawsuit or petition asking for the "permanent" injunction.

 

The court giving an order for maintaining status quo till the disposal of the original suit is "temporary injunction".
