Possession
Possession, correctly understood, means effective physical control or occupation. The word 'possession' is sometimes used inaccurately as synonymous with the right to possess, Gurucharan Singh v.

Interlocutory order
Interlocutory order, it has to be construed in con-tradiction to or in contrast with final order. It means not a final order, but an intermediate order. It is made between the commencement of an action and the entry of the judgment, V.C. Shukla v. C.B.I., AIR 1980 SC 962 (976). (Order XXXIX, Rule 6, CPC, 1908)The term 'interlocutory order' in S. 397(2) of the 1973 Code (Cr. P.C.) has been used in a restricted sense and not in any broad or artistic sense.

State of Haryana, AIR 1977 ...
