IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY C.M.A.No.271 of 2010 Between: M/s. Lalitha Enterprises ..... PETITIONER(S) AND Smt Sunkara Janaki Lakshmi and others .....RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY C.M.A.No.271 of 2010 ORDER: (per HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED) This appeal is directed against the order dated 15.02.2010 passed in I.A.No.84 of 2010 in O.S.No.22 of 2010 by the VI Additional District Judge, Visakhapatnam, whereby status quo with regard to possession is directed to be maintained. The case of the petitioner, who is shown as 5th defendant in the said Suit, is that respondents 1 to 3 herein filed the above Suit seeking the relief of declaration of title and consequential injunction against him and respondents 4 to 7 herein. His grievance is that the Court below, though, by the order impugned, directed status quo with regard to possession to be maintained, is not evincing interest in disposing of the application in I.A.No.84 of 2010 filed with a prayer to grant ad-interim injunction restraining the respondents/defendants from ever interfering with their absolute peaceful possession and enjoyment of the schedule properties, despite a duty cast upon it to dispose of such application within thirty days under Order XXXIX Rule 3A of C.P.C. Heard both sides. Perused the material available on record. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, we agree with the contention of the learned counsel for petitioner that under Order XXXIX Rule 3A of C.P.C. a duty is cast upon the Court to dispose of application for injunction within thirty days and we feel it appropriate to direct the Court below to dispose of the application in I.A.No.84 of 2010 within four weeks from today while continuing the status quo order. Therefore, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is disposed of directing the Court below to dispose of the I.A.No.84 of 2010 in O.S.No.22 of 2010 on its file within four weeks from today after affording an opportunity of being heard in accordance with law. It is needless to state that the order of status quo passed by the Court below shall continue to remain in force until the disposal of the said I.A. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. _________________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J. 27th September 2010 CVRK Note: Issue copy in two days. B/o CVRK
