1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.237 OF 2009 (Rajesh Trilokchand Jaiswal vs. State and others) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : MAY 5, 2009 Heard Shri Manohar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondent nos. 1 to 3, and Shri Bhangde, learned Senior Counsel for the respondent no.4. Shri Manohar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that in the instant petition, by an interim order, the parties were directed to maintain status quo, which is in operation since last about six months. It is prayed that same may kindly be continued for a period of two weeks. In the normal course, we would not have 2 granted the request of the learned Counsel for the petitioner particularly having held that law declared by the Apex Court in State of Maharashtra vs. Sant Joginder Singh (1995 Suppl (2) SCC 475) is a law declared by the Apex Court under Article 141 of the Constitution and in spite of subsequent decisions of the Apex Court, continues to hold the field. However, since the parties were directed to maintain status quo for last six months, in the interest of justice, we extend the order of status quo for a period of two weeks from today, which shall cease to operate automatically on expiry of last day of the second week from today.
