In this petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the prayer is for setting aside the order of the trial court, dated 4.9.2008 dismissing the petitioner’s application for grant of temporary injunction, and order dated 26.11.2008 passed by the District Judge, Patiala, dismissing the appeal of the petitioner against the order of the trial court. At the commencement of hearing, learned counsel for the parties stated that this revision petition can be disposed of on the basis of consensus without going into the merits of the case. It was 2 C.R. No. 690 of 2009 further stated that the parties will conclude their respective evidence within a fixed time span provided three opportunities to each of them are granted for that purpose. In view of the prayer made by counsel for the parties, the petition is being disposed of on the basis of consensus arrived at between the parties and, thus, it is considered not necessary to go into the merits of the petition. Learned counsel appearing for the plaintiff-petitioner states that the suit is fixed for evidence of the plaintiff-petitioner on 15.12.2009 and the plaintiff-petitioner will conclude its evidence on or before 31.3.2010 provided three effective opportunities spreading over that duration are granted to it. The counsel further states that while admitting the revision petition on 18.2.2009, this Court had passed an interim order in favour of the plaintiff and the said order may be allowed to continue till the final disposal of the suit. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent, on the other hand, after being briefed by Shri Surjit Singh, Sarpanch of the respondent- Gram Panchayat, who is present in Court, submitted that the respondent will conclude its evidence within a period of six months, thereafter, and in any case, latest by 30.9.2010, provided three effective opportunities are granted to it for that purpose, spreading over that duration. He, however, did not oppose the prayer for continuation of interim order dated 18.2.2009 till the decision of the suit. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and in view of the consensus arrived at between them, this revision petition is 3 C.R. No. 690 of 2009 disposed of with directions in terms of the submissions made above. Accordingly, the trial court is directed to grant three effective opportunities to each of the parties within a time span referred to above, to conclude their respective evidence. The trial court shall thereafter finally dispose of the suit by 31.12.2010 and as agreed between the parties; the interim order passed by this Court on 18.2.2009 shall remain in operation till the final disposal of the suit.
