An Interlocutory Application (IA) is a motion or petition filed in a pending case to seek relief that is temporary in nature and necessary for the fair and efficient handling of the case.
Examples:
- Seeking interim injunctions
- Requesting a stay on proceedings
- Seeking temporary custody in family matters
These are filed before the final resolution of the case and help preserve the rights or maintain status quo until the main matter is decided.
Why other options are incorrect:
- (A) refers to final judgment, not interim relief.
- (B) is related to appellate or revisional jurisdiction.
- (D) deals with dismissal, not temporary relief.
