Syllabus
<p>1. Preliminary Injunction — Ex Parte Application — Grounds—Discretion op Court.</p> <p>The granting of a preliminary injunction rests in the sound discretion of the court to be exercised in view of the circumstances of the particular case, including elements of hardship or other special features, and, while ordinarily such an injunction will not be granted on ex parte affidavits unless in a clear case, it is otherwise where the object for which it is sought is merely the maintenance of the status quo or the preservation of a fund in controversy pendente lite, and the merits of the case are left in doubt by the ex parte affidavits.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court)</p>
