Interim relief can address a pending application; an ex parte request needs the statutory basis and supporting affidavit. Neither is an automatic outcome.
General legal-awareness information for Jammu & Kashmir. Applicability, forum and any time limit depend on the governing law and the complete facts. Prepared 2026-10-24. Personal-law routes differ and must be identified first.
Law and context
Section 23 gives the Magistrate powers to make interim orders and, on the required satisfaction, ex parte orders based on an affidavit. The relief requested should correspond to the Act’s substantive provisions and the immediate facts.
Practical next step
Explain what cannot wait, identify the requested direction and provide a truthful dated account. Bring previous orders and disclose connected proceedings rather than presenting the application in isolation.
Important qualifications
An order made without hearing the other side remains a judicial order with procedural consequences. Advice is needed about compliance, challenge and the next hearing.
