In I.A. No. 267 of 1995, the injunction was for restraining respondents Nos. 2 to 6 from transferring the shares held by them in the first respondent company to any persons without offering them in the first instance to the plaintiffs and for restraining the company from registering or giving any effect to the transfer of such shares. In both the applications, the orders passed are in the following terms : "Heard and perused. Issue notice with copy of documents. Ad interim injunction granted till February 9, 1995."

The party which invokes the jurisdiction of the court for grant of an order of restraint against a party, without affording an opportunity to him of being heard, must satisfy the court about the gravity of the situation and the court has to consider briefly these factors in the ex parte order.

It is vehemently contended that the revision petitioners have not brought to the notice of this court the factum of their having entered appearance in the suit and filing a counter for the purpose of contesting the applications. It is also argued that on February 17, 1995, the revision petitioners did not bring to the notice of the trial court or to the plaintiffs that they had obtained an interim order of suspension from this court in these civil revision petitions.
