THIS MFA IS FILED U/O 43 RULE 1(r) OF CPC, PRAYING TO SET ASIDE THE ORDER DATED 02.07.2025 PASSED ON I.A.NOs.1 AND 2 IN OS.NO.4625/2025 ON THE FILE OF THE XXIV ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE, BENGALURU (CCH 6). THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY,
JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR
ORAL JUDGMENT Though the appeal is listed for admission, with consent of both the learned counsel appearing for the parties, the matter is taken up for final disposal.
2. The appellants/defendant Nos.5 and 19 have filed this appeal questioning the order of ex-parte temporary injunction dated 02.07.2025 in O.S.No.4625/2025 on the file of XXIV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru (CCH-6).

3. It is grievance of appellants/defendant Nos.5 and 19 that the Trial Court has passed an order of ex-parte temporary injunction dated 02.07.2025 and
directed the plaintiffs to comply with the provisions under
Order XXXIX Rule 3(A) of CPC and issued summons to the defendants. Thereafter, for three consecutive dates, the Trial Court has not passed order, but simply extended the
order of ex-parte temporary injunction, by which, according to the learned counsel appearing for the appellants, the defendants’ right is affected.
4. The order impugned herein is granting an order of ex-parte temporary injunction. The applications I.A.Nos.1 and 2 are still pending for consideration before the Trial Court.
5. According to the learned counsels appearing for the parties, the defendants have filed objections to the said applications and addressed their respective
arguments and thereafter, the Trial Court has posted the
- 7 -
HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36114 MFA No. 6723 of 2025
matter for orders on I.A.Nos.1 and 2, but the Trial Court even after three consecutive days has not passed order on I.A.Nos.1 and 2. Therefore, appellants/defendant Nos.5 and 19 have preferred this instant appeal on the ground that it is mandatory on part of the Trial Court to pass an
order within a period of 30 days, but the Trial Court has not passed the order. Therefore, aggrieved by this, the present appeal is preferred. The learned counsel places reliance on the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of A. VENKATASUBBAIAH NAIDU VS. S.
CHELLAPPAN AND OTHERS1.
6.
Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that now the Trial Court has scheduled the date for orders i.e., on 17.09.2025. Therefore, the appropriate recourse to be taken is to issue direction to the Trial Court to pass orders on I.A.Nos.1 and 2 without keeping the applications pending on the scheduled date of 17.09.2025. If this direction is issued, it would suffice at this stage; therefore,
1 (2007) 7 SCC 695

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36114 MFA No. 6723 of 2025
with a direction to the Trial Court to dispose of the applications I.A.Nos.1 and 2 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law on its merits on the scheduled next date of hearing, the appeal is disposed off.
7. Registry is directed to communicate this order immediately to the Trial Court.
