HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4196 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed O.S. No.157 of 2006 in the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Dhone, against the respondent for the relief of perpetual injunction in respect of the suit schedule property. He pleaded that the he acquired title over the property under an agreement of sale, dated 29-10-1990, from a third party and that the respondent Municipality is interfering with his possession. The suit was decreed on 08-03-2010. Aggrieved thereby, the respondent filed A.S. No.26 of 2010 in the Court of the VI Additional & Sessions Judge, Kurnool. It has also filed I.A. No.63 of 2010 under Order – XLI Rule – 5 read with Section 151 CPC seeking stay of operation of the decree. The application was opposed by the petitioner. The lower appellate Court allowed the I.A. through its order dated 23-08-2010. Hence, this revision. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. 3. The respondent availed the remedy of appeal against the decree passed by the trial Court in favour of the petitioner. It also filed an application for stay of operation of decree. An appeal is continuation of a Suit. Normally the status-quo orders obtained during the pendency of the Suit are continued during the pendency of the appeal. It is only when extraordinary situation exists that different view would be taken. In the instant case, the petitioner had the advantage of the order of status-quo during the pendency of the Suit. His condition cannot be relegated to a worse position after he was successful in the Suit. It is the maximum that the lower appellate Court could have done by way of an interim measure is to see that status- quo be maintained by both the parties. 4. Hence, the Civil Revision Petition is partly allowed, modifying the order under revision to the one of directing the parties to maintain status-quo in respect of the suit schedule property. The appeal shall be disposed of as early as possible and not later than three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J March 15, 2011. KTL
