JAYAKUMAR S PATIL, SENIOR ADVOCATE FOR SRI. UMASHANKAR L, ADVOCATE FOR C/R1 TO R8) THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO ISSUE A WRIT OF CERTIORARI OR ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE WRIT, ORDER, OR DIRECTION UNDER ARTICLE 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, CALLING FOR THE RECORDS OF MA NO.22/2025 FROM THE III ADDITIONAL SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC, DEVANAHALLI AND ETC. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD ORAL ORDER 1. In this petition, the petitioners–plaintiffs have called in question the order dated 05.01.2026 passed by the III Additional Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Devanahalli (hereinafter referred to as the “First Appellate Court” for short) in M.A.No.22/2025 vide Annexure-A, whereby the parties were directed to maintain status-quo in respect of - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14571 WP No. 6965 of 2026 the suit schedule property till the disposal of the Execution Petition as well as Regular Appeal, which is pending before the V Additional District and Sessions Judge, Devanahalli. 2. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their ranking before the Trial Court. 3. The petitioners–plaintiffs have filed a suit for permanent injunction in O.S.No.290/2024. Along with the plaint, they filed I.A.No.1 under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC), seeking an interim order of temporary injunction restraining the defendants, their men, agents, servants, representatives, or any persons claiming under or through them from alienating, encumbering or creating any charge over the schedule property pending disposal of the suit. They have also filed I.A.No.2 under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC, seeking temporary injunction restraining the defendants, their men, agents, servants, representatives, or any persons claiming under or through them from interfering with the - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14571 WP No. 6965 of 2026 peaceful possession and enjoyment of the schedule property pending disposal of the suit. The Trial Court initially granted an ex-parte order of temporary injunction. Upon service of summons, defendant Nos.6 to 13 filed an application under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of the CPC seeking to vacate the said ex-parte order. The said application came to be dismissed by the Trial Court by order dated 16.08.2025. Being aggrieved by the same, defendant Nos.6 to 13 preferred an appeal before the First Appellate Court in M.A.No.22/2025. The First Appellate Court, by order dated 05.01.2026, partly allowed the said appeal and directed both the parties to maintain status-quo in respect of the suit schedule property till the disposal of Execution Petition as well as Regular Appeal, which is pending before the V Additional District and Sessions Judge, Devanahalli. Being aggrieved by the same, the petitioners are before this Court. - 9 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:14571 WP No. 6965 of 2026 4. In view of the above, the direction issued by the First Appellate Court to maintain status-quo merely preserves the existing state of affairs and does not cause any prejudice to the petitioners herein. This Court does not find any error, illegality, or perversity in the impugned order dated 05.01.2026 passed by the First Appellate Court in M.A.No.22/2025 vide Annexure-A warranting interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD) JUDGE HA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 17
