THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER Petitioners are before this Court calling in question two orders: (1) rejecting an application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, declining to grant temporary injunction and (2) order of the First Appellate Court in M.A.No.10/2024 confirming the said order. 2. Heard Sri.K.R. Ramesh, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, Sri.Manohar B.K., learned counsel appearing for the respondent and have perused the material on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that stay of the order declining to grant a temporary injunction was - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25415 WP No. 12899 of 2025 granted by the First Appellate Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks to place reliance upon a particular order of the Assistant Commissioner to contend that they are the legal heirs of a grantee. 4. Learned counsel or the petitioner contends that they are the legal heirs of the grantee, which is seriously disputed by the learned counsel for the respondent. The suit is for declaration and possession filed by the petitioners on the aforesaid score. 5. As observed herein above, the entire fulcrum of the right that is claimed by the petitioners, is an order of the Assistant Commissioner cancelling the khata that stood in favour of vendors of the respondent. Be that as it may. 6. In the light of the subsistence of the interim order of stay before the First Appellate Court, I deem it appropriate to direct the parties to maintain status quo which would be subject to further orders that would be passed at the hands of the concerned Court. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25415 WP No. 12899 of 2025 7. A direction to maintain status quo would not mean that the possession of the respondent would be disturbed by any way by the plaintiff unless the order of the kind would spring from the hands of the concerned Court. With the aforesaid objections, the petition stands disposed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE CBC List No.: 1 Sl No.: 36 CT:SS
