CORAM : MILIND N. JADHAV, J. (Through Video Conferencing) DATE : JUNE 18, 2026. 5 of 8 2. IA.3443.2023 + 7 IAs.doc P.C.: 1. Praecipe dated 17.06.2026 is moved on behalf of Appellants in Second Appeal Nos. 8 of 2017 and 132 of 2017 for seeking stay of the order in Interim Applications filed for vacating the stay order decided by this Court on 12.06.2026. 2. Heard learned Advocates appearing for the parties. 3. Order dated 12.06.2026 in present matters was pronounced while disposing of four Interim Applications seeking vacating of the interim relief in the present group of Second Appeals. 4. Though the said order was pronounced in open Court on 12.06.2026, Mr. Deshmukh, learned Advocate appearing for Appellants in Second Appeal Nos. 8 of 2017 and 132 of 2017 persuaded the Court to allow him to consider the text of the order and thereafter seek direction for stay or otherwise. Said order was uploaded on 12.06.2026 at 15:32 Hours. 5. In view of the Praecipe dated 17.06.2026, Mr. Deshmukh persuades me to consider stay of the effect of the order dated 12.06.2026 in order to allow the Appellants to test its legality and validity before the Supreme Court. 6. Mr. Gorane, learned Advocates for Respondent Nos. 2A to 2D would submit that he has a very strong objection to grant any stay to 6 of 8 2. IA.3443.2023 + 7 IAs.doc the order in view of Plaintiffs plea, he being apprehensive about the rights of Respondent Nos. 2A to 2D shares being affected. 7. I have considered the submissions of Mr. Gorane but it is seen that when the present 4 Interim Applications were fully argued, Mr. Gorane had taken a neutral stand which is recorded in the order and in that view of the matter, I decline to consider the request made by Mr. Gorane. 8. Mr. Anturkar, learned Senior Advocate had appeared along with Mr. Udane in the present matters for the parties as stated in the appearance memo. Mr. Udane appearing today has registered his strong objection to grant any stay to the said order. I have considered his request also. 9. However considering the timeline in the present case and the substantive rights of the parties before me in several properties and the limited direction which has been given by this Court to vacate the injunction which is not fully qualified but is further depending upon the parties to approach the Trial Court for seeking utilization of the subject land carved out for the purpose of vacating the injunction, the request made by Mr. Deshmukh will have to be therefore accepted. In that view of the matter, order dated 12.06.2026 passed in the present matters directing vacating the interim relief qua Survey No. 73/2B only stands stayed for a period of eight weeks from today to enable 7 of 8 2. IA.3443.2023 + 7 IAs.doc the Appellants to approach the Supreme Court to challenge the same. 10. This order shall be read along with order dated 12.06.2026. 11. Praecipe is allowed and disposed.
