What is the injection order court fees in India?

In India, obtaining an injunction order on property whether to maintain status quo or prevent certain actions involves court fees, which vary based on several factors. The type of injunction (temporary, permanent, or mandatory), the valuation of the property, and the jurisdiction of the court all play a role in determining the fee. For some injunction suits, especially temporary or preventive ones, a fixed fee may apply. However, in cases involving mandatory injunctions or where specific relief is sought concerning immovable property, the court fee is often calculated as a percentage of the property's market value or the suit value declared by the plaintiff. Each state may have its own Court Fees Act or schedule, so exact amounts can differ depending on the location.
