CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE, BENGALURU VIDE ANNEXURE-E, THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR ORAL ORDER Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Parties are referred to as per their ranking before the trial Court. 3. The petitioner/plaintiff filed the suit for Permanent Injunction against the respondents/defendants in O.S. No.8249/2025. Alongwith the suit, the plaintiff filed I.A. No.1 - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:54569 WP No. 38463 of 2025 under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 of CPC for an ad-interim order of Temporary Injunction. The petitioner/plaintiff being aggrieved by non-passing of order on I.A. No.1 is before this Court in the present petition. 4. Though the present petition is filed praying to set aside the impugned order dated 16.12.2025, during the course of arguments, learned counsel for petitioner has filed a memo restricting his prayer for a direction to the trial Judge to consider and dispose of the application filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 of CPC. The memo is accepted. 5. This Court does not find any need or necessity to issue notice to the respondents/defendants as this Court is not inclined to pass any adverse order against the respondents/defendants. 6. On perusal of the order sheet maintained by the trial Court, it is seen that the learned trial Judge ordered notice to the caveator and all the defendants vide order dated 24.11.2025. A memo is filed on 29.11.2025 by the plaintiff stating about service of plaint copy and I.A. to the caveator. - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:54569 WP No. 38463 of 2025 The defendant Nos.1 to 3 entered appearance through the learned counsel on 2.12.2025 and filed objections to I.A. No.1. The matter was heard for some time and Court felt the need to refer the matter for settlement. Accordingly, the matter was adjourned to 8.12.2025 for reporting settlement. 7. When the matter came up before the Lok Adalat on 8.12.2025, the plaintiff and his counsel as well as learned counsel for defendant Nos.1 to 3 were present and defendant Nos.2 and 3 were absent. The petitioner/plaintiff was directed to serve copy to the defendants and the matter was referred back to the Court. 8. When the matter came up before the Court on 16.12.2025, plaintiff and his counsel as well as learned counsel for defendant Nos.1 to 3 are present and a memo was filed by plaintiff stating that he served copies through mail. At that stage, learned trial Judge again issued summons to the defendants though defendants were already served and filed objections to I.A. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:54569 WP No. 38463 of 2025 9. Under the circumstances, the trial Court ought to have considered I.A. No.1 filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 of CPC and proceeded to pass orders by hearing the plaintiff as well as the defendants or in the absence of the defendants by hearing the plaintiff and objections to I.A. No.1 filed by the defendants and pass suitable orders, in view of the urgency expressed by the plaintiff, which has not been done in the present case. Therefore, I deem it appropriate to show indulgence in the matter. 10. Accordingly, I pass the following: O R D E R i) The matter is remitted to the trial Court to consider I.A. No.1 filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 of CPC in O.S. No.8249/2025 and pass suitable orders in accordance with law within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of copy of the order. ii) The petition is accordingly disposed of.
