She submits that an appeal was preferred against the said order but the First Appellate Court, instead of entertaining the appeal, remitted the same to the trial Court saying that it did not have sufficient time to deal with the appeal on account of pendency of old cases and action plan cases and issued a direction to the trial Court to decide the application for injunction within a period of one month. She submits that the matter was remitted by the First Appellate Court after arguments were heard for almost 1.5 hours. Learned Senior counsel further submits that all requisite permissions are there with the petitioner till 2029. Learned Senior counsel also submits that the factory is in operation for the last 40 years and without affording any hearing, the same has been ordered to be shut down.
