Dmt 1 app689-98 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGNAL CIVIL JURISDICTION APPEAL NO. 689 OF 1998 IN NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 3337 OF 1997 IN SUIT NO. 3668 OF 1997 WITH NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 1543 OF 2000 AND NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 267 OF 2002 Sorab K. Modi & Anr. .. Appellants.. versus Bank of Baroda & Ors. .. Respondents. ..... Dmt 2 app689-98 Mr. Sorab K. Modi Appellant present in person. Mr. Karl Shroff with Mrs. Prachi Raj Mhatre i/by M/s. M.S. Bodhanwala for Respondent Nos. 1 to 7. Mr. Mikhail Behl i/by Kanga & Co. for Respondent No.11. ...... CORAM : DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD & A. A. SAYED, JJ. 09 DECEMBER 2011. P.C. : This appeal arises out of an order of a learned Single Judge dated 26 November 1997 by which an ad-interim injunction which was granted to the Appellants-Plaintiffs in terms of prayer clause (a) of the Notice of Motion came to be vacated. Prayer clause (a) of the motion sought an injunction against Defendant Nos. 1 to 7 from transferring equity shares of Larsen and Toubro Ltd., and Bajaj Tempo Ltd. Though an ad- interim order was passed on 24 October 1997 in terms of Dmt 3 app689-98 prayer clause (a), the injunction came to be vacated on 26 November 1997. This appeal was admitted by a Division Bench of this Court consisting of Hon ble Mr. Justice S.N. Variava and ’ Hon ble Mr. Justice S.H. Kapadia (as Their Lordships then were) ’ on 24 August 1998. The record of the proceedings shows that on 27 January 1999 an order was passed by a Division Bench staying the operation of the ad-interim order dated 26 November 1997 of the learned Single Judge. The aforesaid position has continued since 1999. In that view of the matter, since the motion is pending before the learned Single Judge, we are of the view that the ends of justice would be met if the ad-interim order dated 27 January 1999 is continued until the Notice of Motion is taken up for hearing and final disposal by the learned Single Judge. In view of the fact that the motion has not been finally disposed of, we would request the learned Single Judge to set down the motion for early hearing at an expeditious date. 3. The Appeal stands disposed of in the aforesaid Dmt 4 app689-98 terms. In view of the disposal of the Appeal, both the Notices of Motion stand dismissed. (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J.) (A. A. Sayed, J.)
