Mr.Swapnil Lokare i/by Mr.S.G.Deshmukh for the Respondents. CORAM: R.G.KETKAR, J. DATE : 11th March, 2011. P.C.: By this application, the applicants are seeking stay to the execution and operation of the judgment and decree dated 8.7.2008 passed by the learned District Judge-3, Sangli in Regular Civil Appeal No.89 of 2001 arising out of the judgment and decree dated 2.2.2001 passed by the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Jat in Regular Civil Suit No.101 of 1980. By these judgments, the Courts below decreed the suit instituted by the Respondent Nos.1 & 2 for partition and separate possession and declared that the sale deed dated 11.7.1979 executed by the deceased Vithoba in favour of Appellant No2 (Defendant No.5) is null and void and not binding on the plaintiffs. By order dated 27.7.2009 the second appeal was admitted. Rule was issued on the 2 present civil application and the ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (b) was granted. In my opinion, interest of justice would be served by directing that the partition proceedings shall go on, but the partition by metes and bound shall not be effected, as also the applicants possession shall not be disturbed in respect of the properties covered by the sale deed dated 11.7.1979. Order accordingly. Civil Application stands disposed of. Costs in the cause. (R.G.KETKAR, J.)
