IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.2740 of 2008 Date of Decision:14.05.2009. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited ...Petitioner Versus M/s Singla Filling Station and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice S.D.Anand. Present: Mr. Anil Malhotra, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** S.D.Anand, J. (ORAL) The grievance of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner - Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited presently is that the grant of impugned ex-parte order (and for a fairly long date) is extremely onerous to the petitioner inasmuch as it disables the petitioner from implementing an order which it passed in the context long ago. He further points out that the Civil Court at Panchkula has absolutely no jurisdiction to entertain suit which (suit) is, even otherwise, not maintainable. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the interests of justice would be served if a direction is issued to the learned Trial Court to dispose of the stay application in a time bound manner. In the light thereof, the petition is disposed of in limine with a direction to the learned Trial Court to prepone the matter to 16th May, 2009 and to dispose of the stay application, in accordance with law, on that very day. If the petitioner is inclined to file a counter/written statement, it may do so, with an advance copy to the party opposite. In disposing of the stay plea, the learned Trial Court may like to take into consideration the very serious objections indicated by the petitioner with regard to the point of jurisdiction and maintainability. Disposed of accordingly. Nothing noticed in the couse of this order shall be inferred to constitute expresion of opinion on the merits/correctness of the averment made before this Court. Copy of the order be given to the learned counsel for the petitioner under the signatures of the Court Secretary. May 14, 2009. (S.D.Anand) vinod Judge
