... Respondents
(By Sri Sanganabasava B.Patil, Advocate for C/R1;
Notice to R2 to R9 dispensed with vide order dated 14.02.2022)
This MFA is filed under Section 43 Rule 1(r) of CPC, praying to
set aside the order dated 24.11.2021 passed by the learned I Addl.
Senior Civil Judge and CJM at Vijayapura, in O.S. No.191/2021, wherein,
the learned trial judge was pleased to reject the I.A No.1, filed by the
plaintiff/appellant herein and allow the I.A No.1 filed under Order 39 Rule
1 and 2 of CPC, by allowing the appeal with costs.
This appeal coming on for admission this day, the Court delivered
the following:

JUDGMENT
This appeal by the plaintiff in O.S.No.191/2021 on the
file of the I Addl. Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Vijayapura (for
short, 'the trial court') is directed against the impugned order
dated 24.11.2021 passed on I.A.No.I filed by the plaintiff
against the respondents-defendants for an order of temporary
injunction restraining the respondent No.1-defendant No.1
from alienating the suit schedule property bearing R.S.No.12,
measuring 31 acres 12 guntas including 24 acres 16 guntas of
Phot Kharab of Karajol village, Tq. & Dist. Vijayapura pending
disposal of the suit. By the impugned order, the trial court
dismissed I.A.No.I, aggrieved by which appellant-plaintiff is
before this court by way of the present appeal.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant-
plaintiff and learned counsel for the respondent No.1-
defendant No.1 and perused the material on record.
3. Since no relief was sought for against the
respondent Nos.2 to 9 in the aforesaid I.A.No.I which was filed
by the appellant-plaintiff only against the respondent No.1-
defendant No.1, notice to the respondent Nos.2 to 9-
defendant Nos.2 to 9 is dispended with.
4. A perusal of the material on record including the
impugned order will clearly indicate that though several
contentions have been urged by both the sides in support of
their respective claims, having regard to the nature of the suit
and the relief sought for by the parties coupled with the
undisputed fact that the relationship between the plaintiff and
defendant No.1 has been admitted by the respondent No.1-
defendant No.1, without expressing any opinion on the
merits/demerits of the rival contentions, I deem it just and
proper to dispose of this appeal by setting aside the impugned
order passed by the trial court and by directing the appellant-
plaintiff and respondent No.1-defendant No.1 to maintain
status quo in all respects in relation to the aforesaid suit
schedule property pending disposal of the suit and by directing
the trial court to dispose of the suit within a stipulated time
frame.
5. In the result, I pass the following:
ORDER
i) The appeal is disposed off.
ii) The impugned order dated 24.11.2021 passed by
the I Addl. Senior Civil Judge & CJM at
Vijayapura is set aside.
iii) The appellant-plaintiff and respondent No.1-
defendant No.1 are directed to maintain status quo in all respects in relation to the suit schedule property bearing R.S.No.12, measuring 31 acres 12 guntas including 24 acres 16 guntas of Phot Kharab of Karajol village, Tq. & Dist. Vijayapura till disposal of the suit.
iv) It is made clear that this interim arrangement is without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties and all rival contentions between the parties are kept open to be decided by the trial court at the time of final disposal of the suit.
v) The trial court is directed to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible preferably within an outer limit on or before 16.12.2022.
Subject to the aforesaid directions, the appeals stands
disposed of.
In view of disposal of main appeal, I.A.No.1/2022 does
not survive for consideration, accordingly same is disposed
of.
