Annexure R-4 is taken on record. CR No.4472 of 2007 This is plaintiffs' revision petition challenging the impugned order whereby their prayer for ad interim injunction during the pendency of the suit has been rejected by the Courts below. Briefly stated, the case of the petitioners, as set forth in the plaint, is that one Ranga Singh, who was the owner of the suit property executed a Will dated 10.8.1982 in favour of the plaintiffs and after his death on 13.12.1982, they had become the owners in possession of the suit land and the mutation was also sanctioned in their favour on the basis of the aforesaid Will. Thus, the defendant had no right, title or interest in the suit land. However, he was taking the law in his hands, thus, the suit for permanent injunction was filed. Along with this suit, the petitioners also filed an application for grant of ad interim injunction during the pendency of the suit. CR No.4472 of 2007(O&M) -2- Both the Courts below rejected the aforesaid prayer observing that prima facie, the plaintiffs were not in possession of the suit land. This Court had directed the parties to maintain status quo with regard to the possession of the suit land vide order dated 10.9.2007. The aforesaid order is still continuing. Learned counsel for the respondent has also brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioners have been granted so many opportunities to lead their evidence but their cross-examination is yet to be completed and the petitioners are adopting delaying tactics. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, a direction is given to the trial Court to decide the suit within six months from today. The parties shall co-operate with the Court for completing the evidence etc. The petitioner is also directed to be present before the trial Court on the next date of hearing for his cross-examination. Till the decision of the case, status quo order granted by this Court shall continue. Disposed of. May 5, 2010 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
