(ORAL) This petition has been preferred against the order of Additional District Judge Dr. T R Naval dated March 5, 2005 whereby the learned Judge has reversed the order of the Civil Judge dated September 26, 2002 restraining the respondent from dispossessing the appellant except by taking recourse to due process of law. It is submitted by learned Senior counsel for the appellant that the appellant is in possession of the suit property for the last more than 25 years and that he has filed two suits in the court of Civil Judge one of which is for permanent injunction bearing suit no. 759/2006 CM(M) 551/2005 Page 2 and the other bearing suit no. 1043/2006 is for declaration and permanent injunction. Both the suits relate to the same property but are pending in different courts. As per the learned counsel for the respondent he has no objection to the present appeal being disposed of with a direction to the Civil Judges to dispose of the suits pending before them within a maximum period of nine months from now. It is stated by both counsels that they will jointly move an application before the District Judge for consolidation of both the suits so that they are tried and disposed of by a common judgment. In view of the above, I direct the respective Civil Judges dealing with aforementioned suits to dispose of the same within a period of nine months from now. The parties shall be at liberty to move the District Judge for consolidation of the two suits and in the event of the District Judge passing the order of consolidation, the Judge to whom the two suits are assigned shall dispose of the same within the time specified above. In the meanwhile, till the suits are disposed of, the interim order dated September 26, 2002 passed by the learned Civil Judge shall continue. With this direction, the petition is disposed of.
