Patil for the petitioners Ms Pallavi N.D. i/b Mr.G.S.Godbole for respondent nos.2 to 5. CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : AUGUST 14, 2009 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent nos.2 to 5. Though the petition is shown as dismissed as against the first respondent, the order dated 24th November 2006 records that the respondent nos.2 to 4 are the legal representatives of the first respondent. The learned counsel for the 2nd to 5th respondent seeks time on the ground that the said respondents have not responded to the letters sent by her. 2 Looking to the controversy involved in this petition, the same need not not be kept pending. The petitioners are the original plaintiffs. The petitioners applied for temporary injunction. The application for temporary injunction was granted by the trial court by order dated 8th February 2006. In an appeal preferred by 2 the respondents, by the impugned order dated 21st June 2006, the order of temporary injunction has been set aside. 3 Perusal of the Farad Sheet shows that the on 4th September 2006, this court passed an ad-interim order directing the parties to maintain status quo. This court clarified that pendency of this writ petition will not apply as stay of the proceedings of the suit. Thus, interim injunction granted by the trial court on 8th February 2006 was operative till 21st June 2006 and thereafter ad-interim order passed on 4th September 2006 by this court is operative till today. 4 Hence, the writ petition is disposed of by passing the following order : (i) Ad-interim order dated 4th September 2006 passed by this court will continue to operate till the final disposal of the suit. (ii)It is made clear that all contentions of the parties in the pending suit are expressly kept open and the suit shall be decided without being influenced by the order granting interim relief passed by this court. (iii) There will be no order as to costs. JUDGE
