THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY,
ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE TARA VITASTA GANJU
ORAL ORDER
1. The limited prayer in this petition is to direct the
learned Trial Court to hear the two applications in I.A.Nos.
3 and 4 by the petitioner/plaintiff both filed under Order-
XXXIX, Rule 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
(hereinafter referred to as 'CPC').
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff submits
that he has filed a suit for specific performance of an
agreement to sell dated 18.07.2016 and related prayers.
He submits that despite filing of these two interim
applications before the learned Trial Court on 26.11.2025,
the applications have yet not been taken up for hearing.
Learned counsel further submits that the very purpose of
the filing these applications will be defeated, unless these
applications are heard.
NC: 2026:KHC:11259
HC-KAR
3. Given the limited nature of prayer, this Court does
not deem it apposite to issue Notice in the matter.
4. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner has
purchased the suit schedule property from its previous
owner Late Smt.Bylamma, mother of respondent Nos.1, 2
and 4, by virtue of a registered agreement to sell on
18.07.2016, for a total sale consideration of Rs.1.24
crores. The petitioner has made part payment of this
amount. It is also the case of the petitioner that after
entering into this agreement, the petitioner has learnt that
respondent No.12 had previously entered into an
unregistered sale agreement also with Late Smt.Bylamma
in respect of the same property on 18.08.1997 and that
the General Power of Attorney in respect thereof was also
executed. In pursuance of this unregistered agreement,
respondent No.12 has formed a layout and sold sites to
proposed respondent Nos.14 to 21 herein.
5. The petitioner thus has filed the suit before the
learned Trial Court seeking a decree of specific
NC: 2026:KHC:11259
HC-KAR
performance of the agreement to sell dated 18.07.2016
and has also filed these applications seeking an order of
temporary injunction from changing the nature of the suit
schedule property, as well as an injunction from
restraining defendant Nos.1 to 11 and proposed
respondent Nos.14 to 21 from alienating or creating any
encumbrances over the suit schedule property.
6. Since more than four months have passed since
these applications have been filed and the relief sought is
urgent in nature, the learned Trial Court ought to have
take these applications for hearing and disposal.
7. Accordingly, it is directed that the learned Trial Court
shall take up and decide these applications (I.A.Nos.3 and
4) at the earliest. Let the parties be present before the
learned Trial Court for the purpose of arguments on these
applications.
8. The learned counsel for the petitioner informs us that
the applications are listed tomorrow i.e., 25.02.2026.
NC: 2026:KHC:11259
HC-KAR
9. The petition is disposed of with the aforesaid
directions. All pending applications stand closed.
