To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.P.C.Goyal,Advocate for the petitioners **** RAKESH KUMAR GARG J.(ORAL): This is defendants' revision petition challenging the impugned orders passed by the courts below whereby on an application filed by the plaintiff-respondents under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2, the parties have been directed to maintain status quo with regard to the existing condition of the land in dispute. Admittedly, the dispute between the parties pertains to a piece of land measuring 13' x 18', which, according to the averments made by the plaintiff-respondents belongs to them and the same was being used as a passage, whereas the petitioner-trust is claiming the aforesaid piece of land as their property. The civil suit is at the initial stage. This Court has been informed that now the case is fixed for leading evidence of the plaintiff-respondents. Whether the property in dispute belongs to the Civil Revision No.3163 of 2010 2 petitioner or respondents, can only be decided on the basis of the evidence led by the parties. In this view of the matter, I find no error in the jurisdiction exercised by the courts below in the grant of discretionary relief of injunction by ordering to maintain status quo between the parties with regard to the condition of the land. However, in the facts and circumstances, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. Civil Revision stands disposed of. (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) JUDGE 13.05.2010 neenu
