{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.7261 OF 2010 Shrikant s/o Govindrao Sangvikar Petitioner Versus Rukminbai Manik Sangvikar (died) through her L.R. & another Respondents Petitioner – party-in-person present. CORAM : R.M.BORDE, J. DATE : 1 st September, 2010 PER COURT: 1 Heard petitioner party-in-person. 2 An application tendered the petitioner requesting the court to grant stay during pendency of appeal has been turned down by the first appellate Court. 3 It is evident on perusal of record that suit filed by plaintiff – petitioner herein was dismissed by the trial Court against which there is appeal presented, being Regular Civil Appeal No. 242/2009. As the suit itself is dismissed, no question arises for grant of stay to the execution of decree, as there is no decree passed in favour of the plaintiff. The first appellate Court was, {2} therefore, justified in rejecting the application presented by petitioner – party-in-person. 4 The first appellate Court is, therefore, directed to decide pending appeal expeditiously and as far as possible, by the end of April-2011. 5 Writ Petition stands rejected.
