A report was called for and report dated 14.3.2025 was recieved. It is stated that O.S.No.120/2024 on the files of Additional Munsiff’s Court, Cherthala, was filed by Mr.Sreekumar M C on 14.02.2024 for a permanent prohibitory injunction. Along with the filing of the suit, the plaintiff filed Interlocutory Application (I.A. No.2/2024) seeking a temporary injunction. The same was allowed, and notice was issued to the respondents. The case was posted to 01.03.2024 for objection and hearing of the temporary injunction petition. On 01.03.2024, defendants No.2 and 3 appeared before the court and sought time for filing written statement and objection to the injunction petition. Defendant No.1 did not appear before the court even though he was served with the summons. As no objection was filed by the defendants to the temporary injunction application, the ad- interim injunction granted in favour of the plaintiff was extended till the disposal of the injunction application on merits. Thereafter, Defendant No.1 filed a petition to set aside the ex parte order, and the same was allowed on 05.09.2024. Thereafter on 14.11.2024, defendants No.2 and 3 filed I.A.No.6/2024 to vacate/vary the order of OP(C) NO. 604 OF 2025 4 2025:KER:22770 ex parte injunction passed against them in I.A.No.2/2024. At the time of filing I.A.No.6/2024, a copy of the same was not given to the plaintiff. Hence, a direction was given to serve a copy of the same to the plaintiff. On 18.12.2024, it was informed by the counsel for defendants No.2 and 3 that the copy of I.A.No.6/2024 was served to the opposite side. The case was then posted for objection and hearing of I.A.No.6/2024 on 21.01.2025. On 21.01.2025, when the case was called, there was no representation for the plaintiff. Hence a notice was issued to the counsel for the plaintiff, and the case was posted to 25.02.2025. On 25.02.2025, both parties were represented by their respective counsel and the counsel for the plaintiff sought time for filing objection to I.A.No.6/2024. Consequently, the case is now posted to 27.05.2025 for objection and hearing of I.A.No.6/2024. 3. Taking into consideration the applications filed and the report of the learned Munsiff, I deem it appropriate to direct the court below to take up I.A.No.6/2024 in 2/2024 in O.S.No.120/2024 and dispose of the same within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The original petition is disposed of accordingly. sd/ BASANT BALAJI JUDGE jm/ OP(C) NO. 604 OF 2025 5 2025:KER:22770 APPENDIX OF OP(C) 604/2025 PETITIONER EXHIBITS Exhibit P1 A TRUE COPY OF THE PAINT IN O.
