For Respondent Nos. 7 and 8: Mr. N. Sridhar Reddy, Advocate. The Court made the following Judgment:(per Sri B. Sudershan Reddy, J) This writ appeal itself is directed against an interlocutory order passed by a learned single Judge of this Court modifying the initial order of status quo. The dispute relates to the possession of a vast extent of land abutting the city of Hyderabad. Allegations and counter allegations are levelled by the parties. Be it noted, a Division Bench of this Court after admitting the writ appeal on 27.11.2002 against the interlocutory order, passed the following order on 6.1.2003 in W.A M.P. No. 1 of 2003: “Status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained until further orders. Notice”. That order is in operation ever since 6.1.2003. Interests of justice would be met by maintaining the same order passed by the Division Bench on 6.1.2003 until the disposal of the writ petition. The writ petition itself is required to be heard expeditiously to put an end to the controversy between the parties. Registry is, therefore, directed to obtain suitable orders from the Hon’ble the Chief Justice and post the writ petition for hearing on 09.08.2004 before the learned Judge hearing writ petitions, at the top of the list. The Writ Appeal is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. (B. Sudershan Reddy, J) 28..07..2004 (K.C.
