This Court, vide order dated 06.01.2021 set aside the order of the FDP Court dated 05.01.2016 by granting liberty to the petitioners to file an application after the disposal of the regular second appeals filed by the petitioners and respondent.

Under the impugned order, the trial Court has rejected the said application directing the petitioners to work out the remedy in the pending FDP proceedings.
