Sri.Harsha D. Joshi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has filed a suit for decree of perpetual injunction and other reliefs. In the said suit, the petitioner filed an application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 r/w Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short 'CPC'). However, the trial Court under the impugned order, issued notice on the application as well as summons in the suit without appreciating the urgency involved. It is submitted that this Court on prima facie looking into the material on record granted interim protection on 23.11.2020 and if the same protection is continued till the disposal of the suit, the purpose of the writ petition would be served. Hence, he seeks to dispose of the writ petition. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25568 W.P. No.13198/2020 3. Per contra, Sri.V.B.Shivakumar, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2 fairly concedes to the said submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and seeks to dispose of the petition. 4. I have heard the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned counsel for respondent No.2 and meticulously perused the material available on record. 5. The petitioner filed a suit in OS.No.746/2020 for relief of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants or anyone claiming under them from alienating, creating any charge or encumbrance over the suit schedule properties and along with other reliefs. In the said suit, the petitioner/plaintiff filed an application seeking for temporary injunction. The trial Court under the impugned order dated 07.11.2020, issued suit summons to the defendants as well as notice on the application. Being aggrieved, the present petition is filed for - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25568 W.P. No.13198/2020 non-consideration of the application. This Court on 23.11.2020 passed the following order: "Issue emergent noticed. The respondents are restrained from alienating or encumbering the subject property till next date of hearing." 6. Considering the submissions advanced on both sides, I am of the considered view that the interest of justice would be met if the interim order granted by this Court on 23.11.2020 is continued till the consideration of IA.No.II filed by the petitioner under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 r/w Section 151 of CPC. Hence, I proceed to pass the following: ORDER i) The writ petition is allowed. ii) The interim order dated 23.11.2020 is continued till the trial Court dispose of the application filed by the petitioner under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 r/w Section 151 of CPC. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:25568 W.P. No.13198/2020 iii) No orders as to costs. Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) JUDGE ABK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 26
