IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No.3759 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision: 6.1.2009. Ashok Kumar and others ....Petitioners Versus Bhagwan Ram and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Ashok Verma, Advocate for the petitioners. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** Service of respondents is complete. However, no one has appeared for respondents. The challenge in the present petition is to the order dated June 24, 2008, passed by the Additional District Judge, Sirsa, whereby an order dated June 14, 2008 passed by the trial Court granting injunction in favour of the petitioner was stayed ad-interim. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that as a result of the stay of the interim order passed by the trial Court, final relief prayed for in the appeal infact was granted. By passing an ad- interim order the trial Court had restrained the respondents from disconnected or shifting the electric connection of the tubewell and under the garb of interim order passed by learned Additional District Judge, the respondents were trying to shift the same. He further submitted that in case the impugned order passed by the learned Court below is allowed to sustain, the suit filed by the petitioners C.R. No.3759 of 2008 (O&M) -2- itself will become infructuous. This Court had entertained the petition considering the aforesaid contention and granted status-quo regarding the disputed electric connection vide order dated July 17,2008. As the learned Lower Appellate Court is yet to consider the merit of the appeal filed by respondents with regard to the challenge to the order granting interim stay by the trial Court in favour of petitioners, I do not deem it appropriate to interfere at this stage. Accordingly, the learned lower Appellate Court is directed to decide the appeal within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order or on the next date fixed for hearing of the appeal. Till the decision of the appeal the interim stay already granted by this Court on July 17, 2008 shall continue. The revision petition is disposed of accordingly. (RAJESH BINDAL) 6.1.2009 JUDGE Reema
