By the impugned order the prayer made by the appellant for ad interim relief has been rejected. Notice of Motion bearing No. 2773/07 is still pending on the file of the City Civil Court. During pendency of the appeal against the order, a statement was made by the learned counsel for the repondent- Corporation that the structure will not be demolished. The learned counsel for the respondent Corporation submits that the said statement, that the Corporation will not demolish the 2 structrure, was operating only for a period of one week. The counsel for the respondent also submits that she is not aware as to whether the structure is already demolished or otherwise. Having regard to the controversy, I am of the view that it would be appropriate to direct the City Civil Court to decide the Notice of Motion No.2773/07 as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of eight weeks from today.

Status quo as of tody shall continue till the decision of the Notice of Motion.
