Mr.P.P.Prabhu, adv.for respondent no.1. Coram: Smt.R.P.SondurBaldota, J. Dated : 7 th August, 2008. P.C. : 1. The appellant seeks exception to the order dated 19th March, 2008 granting an ex-parte ad-interim order directing the appellant and some other respondents to maintain status-quo in respect of the alienation of 2 the suit property till their appearance. The order unfortunately does not give reasons. The respondent no.1 who is the original plaintiff has filed suit for partition of the joint family property. The relationship between the parties is not disputed. It is further not disputed that the property is an ancestral property. In the circumstances, the trial court cannot be faulted with granting the order directing the parties to maintain status- quo. There are also serious allegations made in the plaint that the appellant has been disposing off the ancestral properties. Hence, the Appeal from Order is dismissed in limine. 2. The appellant states that he has already filed reply to the interim application before the trial court. The appellant is at liberty to make an application before the trial court for early hearing of the application. 3. As the Appeal from order itself is disposed off, the Civil Application does not survive and the same is also disposed off accordingly. [Smt.R.P.SondurBaldota, J]
