When court should grant temporary injunction?

Appellant is sister of respondents no. 1 to 4 who have sold
part of  suit property (described as property no. 2) to respondents no. 5 to
8   and   appellant   is   now   apprehending   that   they   may   sell   remaining
property (described as suit property no. 1)  and thereby may create thirdparty
interest in and over it. 
3. Learned   counsel   for   respondents   strenuously   urged   that
respondents no. 1 to 4 are in possession of remaining property.  There is
no quarrel over that claim and appellant/plaintiff is claiming her 1/5th
share and separate possession. 
4. Learned trial Judge has entered into discussion in paragraphs
12 and 13 of the impugned order in such a fashion as if he was deciding
the suit on merit.  That was unnecessary and irrelevant for the purpose of
deciding an application under Order 39, rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.   Apprehension of appellant/plaintiff is not out of place and
remaining suit property needs to be protected and it cannot be allowed to
change its hands during the pendency of suit.

4. Learned trial Judge has entered into discussion in paragraphs
12 and 13 of the impugned order in such a fashion as if he was deciding
the suit on merit.  That was unnecessary and irrelevant for the purpose of
