While admitting this Appeal from Order, this Court had directed the parties to maintain status quo till the final disposal of the appeal. Since status quo is operating, it would be appropriate to direct the parties to maintain status quo, till the suit pending before the said Court is disposed of while expediting its hearing. 3. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the matter, the trial Court is directed to expedite the hearing of the suit being Special Civil Suit No.90 of 2000 and to dispose it of within a period of six months, if it is already ripe for hearing; otherwise, within a period of one year from the date of receipt of writ of this order. Parties are directed to maintain status quo granted by this Court till the suit is disposed of. 4. With the above observations and directions, the Appeal from Order stands disposed of. Office is directed to send writ of this order forthwith. ORDER IN CIVIL APPLICATION In view of the order passed in the main matter, this civil application will not survive.
