AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE DEEMS FIT FOR WHICH
THE APPELLANTS FOUND ENTITLED.

    THIS APPEAL COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY,
JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER:

CORAM:       HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE N.S.SANJAY GOWDA

                        ORAL JUDGMENT

(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE N.S.SANJAY GOWDA) The appeal is taken up for consideration on merits. Hence, there is no need to consider the application for condonation of delay.

2. It is noticed that the Trial Court, in a suit for partition, has granted an injunction restraining the appellants herein who were defendant Nos.1 and 2 from alienating, transferring the suit schedule 'A' and 'B' properties, till the disposal of the suit. While granting injunction, the Trial Court has noticed that the contention of the plaintiffs was that the suit schedule properties were the ancestral properties and she had a share in the same, while the defendants contended that the suit schedule properties were their self-acquired properties and their -3- NC: 2024:KHC-K:5518 MFA No. 202296 of 2024 father had gifted them before their birth to the first plaintiff. The trial Court has also noticed that the relationship between the parties was not in a dispute and at this stage, if the defendants were not restrained from alienating the properties, the plaintiffs would be put to irreparable loss and injury if the properties were alienated and hence, has only restrained the defendants from alienating or transferring the suit schedule 'A' and 'B' properties.

3. In my view, this order does not in any way prejudice the appellants and the order only enables the maintenance of the status quo of the parties insofar as title is concerned.

The appeal is therefore dismissed. The order dated 07.02.2023 passed on I.A.No.1 in O.S.No.200/2019 by the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge and Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bidar is confirmed. -4-

NC: 2024:KHC-K:5518 MFA No. 202296 of 2024 In view of disposal of appeal, I.A.No.2/2024 for stay does not survive for consideration and same is dismissed.
