Holding

The application for an interlocutory injunction is hereby dismissed. No order as to costs.

Facts

The Plaintiffs claim that the Defendant fraudulently obtained the Suit Properties, which were originally owned by the Plaintiffs' grandfather. The Defendant is now the registered proprietor of the Suit Properties.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiffs have a prima facie case with a probability of success for an interlocutory injunction.
  2. Whether the Plaintiffs have shown a genuine and arguable case for fraud in the transfer of the Suit Properties.

Reasoning

The Plaintiffs failed to establish a genuine and arguable case for fraud in the transfer of the Suit Properties, and thus did not satisfy the first condition for the grant of an interlocutory injunction.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
