Mr. A. N. Samant i/b. Mr. Sarang Aradhye for the Appellant. Mr. Vikramaditya Deshmukh i/b. M/s. Shiralkar & Co. for Respondent No.1. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATED : 18th JULY, 2009. P.C.: Heard Mr. Samant, learned Counsel for the Appellant and Mr. Deshmukh, learned Counsel for the Respondent No.1. 2. The Appellant filed S.C.Suit (St.) No. 326 of 2009 against the Respondents challenging the Orders dated 24th October, 2008 and 23rd January, 2009 passed by the Stewards of Club and Board of Appeal respectively under which the ownership granted to the Appellant to own and race horses has been withdrawn and he is warned off from the premises of the race course at Mumbai/Pune and all other places for the period of five years. In this suit, he filed notice of motion no.101 of 2009 for injunction restraining the Respondents from implementing the aforesaid orders. By the impugned order, the said notice of motion was rejected and therefore, the present Appeal from Order. 2 3. Mr. Samant, learned Counsel for the Appellant, submits that by the above said order, the Appellant was warned off from the premises of the race course of Bombay/Pune and all other places for the period of five years and therefore, taking into consideration this period, suit is required to be heard expeditiously. He further submits that if such directions are given to the Trial Court, he will not press the present Appeal from Order. The learned Counsel for the Respondent No.1 has no objection for expeditious hearing of the suit. In the above facts and circumstances, I am of the view that the suit deserves to be heard expeditiously. I therefore, dispose of the Appeal from Order by passing the following order : i) The Appeal from Order No.700 of 2009 is disposed of, as not pressed. The learned Trial Judge is directed to hear and dispose of the S.C.Suit (St.) No. 326 of 2009 as expeditiously as possible and preferably by the end of April, 2010. ii) The learned Counsel for the Appellant and Respondent No.1, agrees that they will co-operate with the hearing of the suit and adjournments will not be taken except for genuine reasons. 4. In view of the disposal of the Appeal from Order, the Civil Application No.875 of 2009 will not survive and therefore, the same is disposed of. sd/- (R. V. MORE, J.)
