ORAL JUDGMENT :-
1. Heard learned Advocates for the respective parties.
2. Rule.
3. By consent, Rule is made returnable forthwith and the petition is taken up for final disposal.
4. The petitioners are aggrieved by the judgment and order dated 4.4.2015, passed by the appellate Court in Misc. Civil ::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2017 02:10:02 ::: WP/7608/2015 3 Appeal No.94 of 2014, by which, the temporary injunction granted in favour of the petitioners / plaintiffs has been vacated and application Exhibit 5 has been rejected.
5. Shri Gaware learned Advocate for the plaintiffs has strenuously criticized the impugned judgment. He relies upon the 7/12 extract dated 14.6.2017 and contends that the plaintiffs are in possession of the suit land.
6. He further contends that when temporary injunction was granted by the trial Court, the appellate Court could not have interfered with the said order, merely because a second view is possible.
7. Shri Tungar, learned Advocate for the respondents / defendants also places on record certain revenue entries to canvass that the defendants are in possession of the suit land and they are cultivating the land which is in their possession. The defendants have also obtained the copies of the 7/12 extracts on 15.6.2017.
8. The situation is quite peculiar. The revenue records do not conclusively indicate, atleast on paper, as to which litigating ::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2017 02:10:02 ::: WP/7608/2015 4 side is in possession. Revenue Records would be distinct from the fact of a party having actual possession of the suit land and resorting to agricultural activities. The matter before the trial Court in RCS No.1369 of 2013 is at the stage of evidence. The petitioners are without any injunction from 4.4.2015, which is the date of the judgment of the appellate Court, as this Court has not granted any relief to the petitioners. The Appellate Court has held in favour of the defendants.
9. Considering the above, though I am disposing off this petition without causing an interference in the impugned judgment, I deem it proper to observe that the trial Court may resort to Section 75 with Order XXVI Rule 9 of the CPC for seeking the assistance of a Court Commissioner, if it so desires. The litigating sides shall extend their cooperation to the trial Court for an expeditious disposal of the suit and shall refrain from seeking adjournments on unreasonable grounds. The trial Court will endeavour to decide the said suit as expeditiously as possible and preferably on/or before 31.5.2018.
10. Since the injunction granted to the petitioner has been vacated and the Appellate Court has concluded that the plaintiffs have not made out any case for injunction, the status existing ::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2017 02:10:02 ::: WP/7608/2015 5 today, post vacating of the injunction, to be maintained.
11. In the result, the Writ Petition stands disposed and Rule is discharged.
