CWP No. 18280 of 2010 [2] 2. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, we are of the view that since a civil suit regarding this very dispute is already pending before the Civil Court, it would be appropriate that this petition is not pursued on the writ side. We have been informed that an injunction application in that very civil suit is pending before the Court of Civil Judge (Junior Division), Fatehgarh Sahib. Hence, it will be open for the petitioners to make a request for expeditious disposal of that injunction application pending to the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Fatehgarh Sahib. With these observations, this petition stands disposed of. A copy of the order be given dasti to learned counsel for the petitioners under the signatures of the Special Secretary. (MUKUL MUDGAL) CHIEF JUSTICE (SURYA KANT) 11.10.2010 JUDGE 'ravinder'
