Mr.R.V.More for the petitioners. ... CORAM : S.A. BOBDE, J. June 14, 2005. P.C.: 1. This petition is directed against the order of the appellate Court granting status quo. 2.

However, having regard to the apprehension of delay expressed by the petitioners, the appellate Court is directed to dispose of the Regular Civil Appeal, as expeditiously as possible, and in any case, exh.5 within a period of three months from the date the appellate Court receives the writ of this Court. 3. The Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- S.A. BOBDE, J.
