JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI ORAL ORDER Aggrieved by the order passed in M.A.No.5/2018 dated 09.10.2018 by the Senior Civil Judge and ACJM, Karkala, whereby the Appellate Court had reversed the findings of the Trial Court and refused to grant interim injunction to the plaintiff. 2. The petitioner, who had filed a suit for injunction, had filed I.A.No.2 seeking injunction. The Trial Court had granted injunction and aggrieved thereby, the defendants have filed MA.No.5/2018.

Aggrieved thereby, the present writ petition is filed. In the present writ petition, no interim order is granted by this Court. Considering the order in the M.A. that is of the year 2018, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the matter with regard to the legality or otherwise of the orders passed by the Trial Court or the Appellate Court. As this is a suit for bare - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:3291 WP No. 53189 of 2018 injunction filed in the year 2018, this Court is of the view that a direction to disposed of the case expeditiously will serve the purpose. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER i. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Trial Court to dispose of the pending suit as expeditiously as possible. ii. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any views on the merits of the matter. iii. All I.As., in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
