An appeal was thereafter preferred by the respondent No. 1 before the Judge, District Council Court, who then passed the impugned order setting aside the order of injunction passed by the Subordinate District Council Court. 5. This Court then by order dated 20-09-2024, passed in MA(S) No. 3 of 2024, while admitting the appeal for hearing, had directed that status quo be maintained with regard to the suit land. Today, when the matter has been called for hearing, the learned counsels for the parties jointly submit that as the Title Suit has been pending for a long period of time without any progress, the parties are agreeable if status quo be maintained and the suit be directed to be proceeded with expeditiously. 6. In consideration of the submissions of the learned counsels for the parties, it is hereby directed that status quo shall be maintained by the parties with regard to the suit property till the disposal of the Title Suit. It is also directed that the Title Suit be proceeded with most expeditiously considering that it has been instituted as far back as in 2014. 2025:MLHC:568 4 7. On the terms as agreed upon above, the appeal stands closed and disposed of. 8. Lower Court record to be returned back.
