Headnote
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 — Section 13, Section 14, Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 — Anti-Suit Injunction — Matrimonial Disputes — Comity of Courts — Forum Non Conveniens — Foreign Divorce Proceedings.
Anti-suit injunctions restrain a party from prosecuting proceedings in a foreign court. Governed by equitable principles, such power must be exercised sparingly, cautiously, and in exceptional cases—not as a routine judicial exercise. Unmindful grant of anti-suit injunctions undermines comity of courts and improperly interjects into the sovereign judicial jurisdiction of foreign courts.
