Yameen and another (“the suit”), by the court of Civil Judge (Sr. Division), Ramnagar, District Nainital. 2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 3. The respondent/plaintiff did file the suit seeking mandatory injunction and permanent injunction. On the date, when the suit was filed i.e. 31.05.2025, the court passed status quo order and fixed 11.07.2025 for disposal of the application under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (“the Code”). Subsequently, the appellant/defendant did file an application under Order 39 Rule 4 of the Code for vacating the status quo order. This application was rejected by the court vie order dated 04.10.2025. Both these orders are impugned in this appeal. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the suit per se is not maintainable; one of the reliefs is with regard to 2 Viyanimitikaran of the land, which is category-3 land, a relief which cannot be granted by the civil court. He submits that the status quo order is bad in the eyes of law, therefore, it ought to have been vacated on an application filed by the defendant/appellant under Order 39 Rule 4 of the Code. 5. Learned counsel for the appellant also submits that the appellant has also filed objections to the application under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 of the Code and the next date fixed is 08.05.2026 in the court below.

The court below is directed to decide the application 6C under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 of the Code filed by the respondent/plaintiff on the next date fixed or within next three weeks thereafter, as it is stated that the objections have already been filed on it. 8. Learned counsel for both the parties have given statement that they will not seek adjournment for disposal of application 6C filed under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 of the Code. 9.
