CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. JANUARY 15, 2007. Considering the nature of controversy, writ petition has been heard finally with the consent of Shri Deshpande, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Qazi, learned counsel for the respondents. I find that challenging the adverse judgment and decree, the present respondent filed Regular Civil Appeal No. 29 of 2005 before the IIIrd Ad hoc Additional District Judge, Buldhana, and in it prayed for interim relief during its pendency. The appellate authority has on 28.4.2005 granted that interim relief. The said order has been questioned by the petitioner – plaintiff in present writ petition. This Court has while issuing notice on 5.7.2005 directed the parties to maintain status quo in relation to possession as on that date. 2 The decree passed by the trial Court is restraining the present respondent from interfering with possession of the petitioner. In view of the status quo order granted by this Court on 5.7.2005, which is in operation since last about 18 months, I find it expedient to direct the appellate Court to decide the appeal itself on merits within the stipulated period. Accordingly, the present respondent to file private paper book within a period of two months from today before the lower appellate Court and lower appellate Court shall decide the appeal itself within four months. The parties to abide by the order dated 5.7.2005 passed by this Court in present writ petition during the pendency of the appeal. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs.
