1 ao1095 ssp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELATE JURISDICTION APPEAL FROM ORDER NO.1095 OF 2010 M/s.Greencard Departmental Stores Private Limited ...Appellant vs. Ganeshan Neelkhantan & Ors. ...Respondents Mr.Akhilesh Duby and Mr.A.A.Khan and Rahul Sharma for the appellant Mr.Hemant Prabhulkar i/b Juris Consultus for the respondent nos.2 and 3 Mr.Atul Damble i/b Mr.Sunil Dighe for respondent no.1 CORAM : A.S.OKA,J. DATE : MARCH 29,2011 P.C.: 1 Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel for the first respondent. By the impugned order dated 28th August 2010, the learned trial Judge has declined to grant ad-interim injunction. The application for temporary injunction at Exh.5 is still pending. On 24th September 2010, this Court directed the parties to maintain status quo till the next date and the said order continues to operate till today. As the appeal is against the ad-interim order, instead of keeping the appeal pending, the trial Court can be directed to decide the application expeditiously. The learned counsel for the first respondent opposes the prayer for continuation of ad-interim relief. Ad-interim relief is operating from 24th September 2010. It is obvious that while deciding the application at Exh.5, the trial Court will not be influenced by the limited ad-interim relief granted by this Court as the said relief has been granted even before this Appeal could be heard on merits. 2 ao1095 2 Hence, appeal is disposed of by passing the following order : i) The trial Court is directed to decide the application at Exh.5 as expeditiously as possible and preferably on or before 10th June 2011. ii)Ad-interim relief granted by this Court on 24th September 2010 will continue to operate till the application at Exh.5 is decided. iii)It is made clear that the application at Exh.5 will be decided on its own merits without being influenced by the limited interim relief granted by this Court. iv)All contentions of the parties on merits are kept open. v) Civil Application no.1350 of 2010 does not survive and the same is disposed of.
