Nath, Advocate *** P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH *** Anjana Prakash, J. The appellant is aggrieved by the order of injunction dated 04.09.1999 passed by the Sub-Judge V, Bhagalpur, in Title Suit No. 79 of 1996. 2. As per the rival contentions, it appears that sole dispute between the parties is the area of land which has been acquired by the State Government for setting up a Thermal Station. The appellant claims it to be 1.22 acres which is mentioned in the notification, whereas, the private respondents relies on the award which confines itself to only 0.18 acres. In view of the conflicting documentary evidence, the court arrived at a finding that it was in the interest of the plaintiff- respondent that the injunction be granted. It is noteworthy that operation of the order was stayed by this Court by order dated 25.08.2000. 4. It appears that on account of a minor dispute between the parties the interests of both of them is suffering and even at this stage, the respondents- plaintiffs are ready to find out a workable solution to this dispute. 5. In view of such, I direct the Sub-Judge V, Bhagalpur, or his successor in his office to consider applying Section 89 of Code of Civil Procedure in view of the nature of disputes or dispose off Title Suit No. 79 of 1996 within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this judgment. The parties are in agreement that they shall not seek unnecessary adjournments and co-operate in disposing of the matter within the time frame. 6. Since the order of stay is operative from 2000, I would not disturb the said order till the disposal of the Title suit. 7. With the aforesaid observation/direction, this Miscellaneous Appeal is disposed off. (Anjana Prakash,J.) Patna High Court Patna. Dated the 27th January, 2011 NAFR/ JA/-
