IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4762 OF 2008 BETWEEN Dr. P. Nagabhushanam. …PETITIONER AND South Central Railways, rep. by its General Manager and others. …RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: MR. T. SURYA KARAN REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: MR. P. GANGARAMI REDDY The Court made the following: - ORDER: Petitioner’s suit O.S.No.349 of 2002 for injunction was dismissed by judgment and decree dated 14.08.2008 against which an appeal being A.S.No.268 of 2008 is pending before the lower appellate Court. The petitioner claimed that he had subsisting injunction in his favour pending the suit and in the lower appellate Court, when the appeal was filed, the learned appellate Judge ordered notice and did not grant injunction in I.A.No.2787 of 2008 by order dated 24.10.2008. Aggrieved thereby, the present revision petition was filed and while admitting the same on 31.10.2008, this Court granted interim injunction, as prayed for. The said order is in operating even today. 2. Both the learned counsel submits that the appeal, which is pending before the lower appellate Court from the year 2008, is ripe for hearing. 3. In that view of the matter, no useful purpose would be served by adjudicating upon the aspect of injunction pending the appeal. I, therefore, deem it appropriate to direct the lower appellate Court to hear and dispose of A.S.No.268 of 2008 expeditiously before 31.03.2011 and in the meanwhile, the interim injunction granted by this Court in CRPMP.No.6314 of 2008 dated 31.10.2008 shall continue to operate. The civil revision petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J December 1, 2010 DSK
