1 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION APPEAL FROM ORDER NO.684 OF 2006 IN NOTICE OF MOTION NO.3539 OF 2006 IN L.C.SUIT NO.4065 OF 2006 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.923 OF 2006 Shri James Jacinto & Anr. ...Appellants. v/s. The B.M.C. ...Respondents. Ms Asmat Hippargi i/by R.D.Mello ,advs. For the Appellants. Ms K.K.Soran, adv. For the Respondent/BMC. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : AUGUST 3, 2011. P.C. 1 Heard. This appeal was preferred by the original plaintiffs against refusal of ad-interim relief in the notice of motion no.3599 of 2006. The plaintiffs had sought temporary injunction restraining the Municipal Corporation from demolishing disputed structure on the basis of notice issued under Section 488 on 8th September, 2006. While admitting appeal, this Court had granted ad-interim relief of the same nature by order dated 7th October, 2006. That order is still in operation. The learned counsel for the parties informs that the suit is at the stage of recording evidence. In view of this in my opinion, no purpose will be 2 served by going to the merits of the appeal now. In the interest of justice, purpose may be better served by expediting the suit itself. 2 Therefore, this appeal stands disposed off with the following directions: Ad-interim relief granted by this Court by the order dated 7th October, 2006 shall continue to be in operation pending the suit. The trial Court shall expedite the hearing and dispose off the Long Cause Suit No.4065 of 2006 within six months. 3 As the appeal itself is disposed off, civil application does not survive and stands disposed off accordingly.
