    B Temporary injunctions Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Interlocutory orders Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Order for rejection of plaint Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    An Interim Order refers to “an order passed by the court during the pendency of a suit or proceedings to ensure that the interest of the parties to the litigation are not harmed and the subject matter of the suit is maintained”. Such interim or interlocutory orders are of temporary nature.  The court may pass interim orders in form of commissions and letter of requests which are also called incidental proceedings, arrest and attachment before judgement, temporary injunctions, interim sale of movable property, detention, preservation, inspection of suit property, putting a party in immediate possession of land or tenure, deposit of money in court, appointment of Receiver, deposit of claim amount by defendant and security for costs. Order for rejection of plaint is a final order and not an interim order.
