Can file caveat on original suit?

Sir/Madam, We filed OS in civil court recently for temporary injunction, my advocate said it was filed caveat by opponents three months back. I understood caveat can't file on OS, is it correct?

No ,if a person belive that  opponent may approch court and take ex parte injunction  so he can file caveat not to grant exparte injunction without giving opportunity to  hear on defendant side ,one caveat time is 90days it lapse after that .

Dear Querist,

 

According to Section 148A, when people apprehend that some case against them is filed or is about to be filed in any court of law in any manner, they have a right to lodge a caveat. The Caveat may be lodged in the form of a petition under the following circumstances:

 

During an ongoing suit or litigation and in that the application is already been made or is expected to be made;

The suit is about to be instituted and in that suit, an application is expected to be made.

Thus, firstly it is always about an application in a suit of the proceeding and secondly that suit or proceeding can be in the present which is already instituted or it can be in the future where a suit is not instituted yet but the same is expected. In all such situations the right to lodge a caveat arises.

 

Some of the common mistakes made while filing caveat are as follows:

 

The caveat is often filed in support of an application, it is important to remember that caveat can be made only against an application;

Caveator forgets to serve a notice to the applicant, which is mandatory under Section 148A of CPC

Caveators often claim that the order or judgment was incorrect because the notice was given, even after the expiration period. It is important to remember that after 90 days, a fresh caveat needs to be filed.

 

Regards,

Palak
