This petition was filed in very peculiar circumstances. As a copy of the order, which has been passed by the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Hyderabad, dated 2nd June, 2008, was not served upon the petitioner herein, this petition was filed without a copy of the impugned order so as to protect the interest of the petitioner bank. Looking to the peculiar facts of the case, by an order dated 17th June, 2008, this Court had directed the parties to maintain status quo with regard to mortgaged assets. Today, it has been submitted by the learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner bank that a copy of the order passed by the Tribunal dated 2nd June, 2008 is made available to the bank and the petitioner bank would like to challenge the validity of the said order before the appellate authority. It has been submitted that the process of filing of appeal might take some time and, therefore, the petitioner bank be protected till the appeal is filed and presented before the appellate authority. After hearing the concerned Advocates and looking to the afore- stated circumstances, we direct the authorities to maintain status quo for two weeks from today so as to enable the petitioner to approach the appellate authority. In view of the above order, the petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, C.J. 14th July, 2008 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. Note: CC in two days. (BO) … REGISTRAR To 1. The Presiding Officer, Debts Recovery Tribunal at Hyderabad. 2. Two C.D. copies. ARS
