1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.1082 OF 2005 Shri Tanaji Mahadeo Shitole : Petitioner (Orig. Plaintiff) V/s. Shri Subhash Shirang Bhingardeve : Respondent (Orig. Defendant) ... Mr.A.A.Kumbhakoni with Mr.A.M.Kulkarni for the petitioner. Mr.R.V.More for the respondent. ... CORAM : S.A. BOBDE, J. June 20, 2005. P.C.: 1. Rule, returnable forthwith. Mr.More for the respondent waives service of rule. Heard by consent. 2. This petition is directed against the order of the lower appellate Court directing to maintain status quo till final decision of R.C.A. No.251/04 filed by the respondent-defendant. The appellate Court itself has expressed the desire to dispose of the appeal expeditiously and, in the circumstances, I consider it 2 appropriate to direct the appellate Court to dispose of the appeal not later than six months from the date the parties appear before it. The parties are directed to appear before the appellate Court on 4.7.2005. Needless to say that the appellate Court shall decide the matter on its own merits without being influenced by any observations made in any order. 3. The rule stands discharged. S.A. BOBDE, J.
