M. Ghare, Adv. For petitioner. Mr. Panpalia, Adv. For R-1. Mr. Anoop Parihar, A.G.P., for R- 2 to 4. CORAM : Smt. Vasanti A. Naik, J. DATE : 8 th October, 2008 By this petition, the petitioner has impugned the order passed by the 2nd Additional District Judge, Akola, on 13/6/2001, refusing to continue the order of status quo granted on 19/5/2001 and rejecting the application filed by the petitioner for grant of stay. The petitioner had earlier challenged the order dated 13/6/2001 in Civil Revision Application No. 579/2001. Later on, when it was found that the civil revision application was not maintainable, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the civil revision application with liberty to file appropriate proceedings. The petitioner, thereafter, filed this writ petition and this Court has, by an 2 order dated 25/8/2003, continued the interim order granted in favour of the petitioner in the civil revision application. Almost seven years have lapsed after the passing of the impugned order dated 13/6/2001. The matter was pending in civil revision application and this writ petition is also pending before this Court for more than five years. The pendency of the petition would not solve any purpose. The first appeal filed by the petitioner before the appellate Court is still pending. It would, therefore, be necessary in the interest of justice and in the facts and circumstances of the case to continue the interim order granted by this Court on 25/8/2003 with a direction to the 2nd Additional District Judge, Akola, to decide the first appeal within a period of three months from today as the same is ripe for final hearing. The stay granted by this Court on 25/8/2003 would continue till the decision in R.C.A. No. 121/2001. Petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. No order as to costs. JUDGE RMP
