1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 5022 OF 2008 ( Sangeeta Umeshsingh Yadav vs. State of Maharashtra ) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DECEMBER 16, 2008. Heard Shri Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Kankale, learned AGP for the respondent. The impugned order dated 21.11.2008 rejected the prayer of the petitioner – plaintiff for continuation of status quo order observing that it was not in existence. This Court thereafter on 27.11.2008 granted interim order which continues to operate even today. The learned AGP has stated that because of order of status quo, the petitioner has continued to use the land without depositing any charges. Shri Mishra, learned counsel points out that in the meanwhile, the trial Court has heard the argument on Exh. 5 and the case is posted for orders on Exh. 5 on 2.1.2009. It is, therefore, apparent that the status quo which was granted by the trial Court earlier and 2 which is continuing till today needs to be continued till 2.1.2009. The learned AGP is opposing this request. However, the merits of the controversy cannot be and need not be gone into by this Court as trial Court has to adjudicate about it while considering the prayers in Exh. 5. Accordingly, the status quo order is continued till 2.1.2009 with directions to the Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nagpur, to pass orders on Exh. 5 in Regular Civil Suit No. 313 of 2008 on merits by 2.1.2009. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
