: 1 : vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION APPEAL FROM ORDER NO.914 OF 2009 IN NOTICE OF MOTION NO.1302 OF 2009 IN L.C. SUIT NO.1778 OF 2009 Lalmani L . Yadav ... Appellant V/s. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai ... Respondent Mr.B.P. Shukla for Appellant Mrs.K.K. Soraan for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: JANUARY 29, 2010 P.C.: 1. The appeal from order has been preferred against the refusal of ad interim order to the appellant. The appellant contends that the suit structure was in existence prior to 1.1.1995 and, therefore is protected by various policies of the Corporation. 2. Admittedly, no written statement or reply to the Motion has been filed by the Corporation before the City Civil Court. From 10.9.2009, the parties had been directed to maintain status quo. Thus, till today, despite the ad-interim relief having been refused the parties are maintaining status quo as of today. In view of these : 2 : circumstances, in my view, it would be appropriate to dispose of the appeal in the following terms: i) The Corporation shall file its written statement and/or reply to the Motion within four weeks from today. ii) Rejoinder if any to be filed within two weeks thereafter. iii) The notice of motion shall be heard and disposed of within eight weeks thereafter. iv) The parties shall maintain status quo as of today till the Motion is disposed of. 3. Appeal from Order is disposed of in the above terms.
