temporary injunction is granted on 24.06.2025. The petitioner – defendant then files an application – I.A.No.2 under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of the CPC seeking vacation of the temporary injunction. The said application has not met its consideration even as on today. Therefore, the petitioner – defendant is before this Court in the subject petition seeking a direction for expeditious disposal of the said application. 3. Learned counsel to the petitioner – defendant submits that the petitioner is in possession and is undertaking construction. In the light of the temporary injunction subsisting, he is unable to proceed with the construction. 4. In that light, I deem it appropriate to direct the concerned Court to answer the application filed by the petitioner – defendant under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of the CPC, within an outer limit of 4 weeks from today, if not earlier, after hearing the parties. 5. With the above direction, the writ petition stands allowed. - 4 -
