But it appears to me on the materials placed on record and the submissions of the counsel for the petitioner, Sri. Anil George that the petitioner has a grievance and will be able to convince any Court that they have an arguable prima facie case. Under these circumstances, even as I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the petitioner to pursue the civil action which is contemplated under Ext.P8 lawyers notice, there will be a direction to the respondent Panchayat to maintain the status quo obtaining as on today regarding the premises presently under the physical control of the petitioner club till 25th of May 2007.
