Taken on board. 2 Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 3 It is not in dispute that the suits have reached the stage of recording of evidence and the suits are kept for cross-examination of the plaintiffs by the Respondent. Perusal of the record shows that ad-interim relief was granted on 3 rd March, 2010 which protected the disputed structures. Now the suits are at the stage of final hearing. The suits are of the year 2006. Hence, no purpose will be served by keeping the appeals pending. 2 6-AO.955.09 4 The appeals are disposed by directing that ad- interim relief granted by this Court on 3 rd March, 2010 will continue to operate till the final disposal of the suits. It is made clear that the trial Court will not be influenced by the orders impugned as well as grant of ad-interim relief and continuation thereof by this Court while deciding the suits on merits. All contentions of the parties on merits are kept open. 5 The trial Court shall conclude the trial expeditiously and preferably on or before 30 th September, 2011. [ A.S.OKA, J ]
