NO.5 FILED BY THE PETITIONER UNDER SECTION 151 OF CPC, VIDE ANNEXURE-N AND ETC. THESE PETITIONS COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD ORAL ORDER These writ petitions are filed by the plaintiff under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenging the order dated 18.10.2025, whereby IA Nos. 5 and 6 in O.S. - 15 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17170 WP No. 39053 of 2025 C/W WP No. 37710 of 2025 No. 624/2025 were kept in abeyance until orders on IA Nos. 2 and 3 are passed, by the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Nelamangala. 2. The plaintiff has filed a suit in O.S. No. 624/2025 for declaration and injunction. Along with the plaint, he has filed IA Nos. 2 and 3 under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 r/w. Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon service of summons, defendant Nos. 15, 17, and 18 filed a memo dated 27.09.2025 undertaking not to put up any construction on the suit schedule property. In view of the said memo, defendant Nos. 15, 17, and 18 were restrained from putting up any further construction on the suit schedule property. 3. Thereafter, it is the case of the plaintiff/petitioner that, in violation of the said undertaking, the defendants proceeded with construction. Consequently, the plaintiff filed IA No. 5 under Section 151 of the CPC seeking police protection for implementation of the order dated - 16 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17170 WP No. 39053 of 2025 C/W WP No. 37710 of 2025 27.09.2025, and also filed IA No. 6 under Order XXXIX Rule 2A of the CPC seeking action against defendant Nos. 15, 17, and 18 for disobeying the order of temporary injunction. 4. The trial Court, without deciding the applications on merits, passed an order keeping the said applications in abeyance. Since the applications pertain to disobedience of the Court’s order, the trial Court ought to have decided the same in accordance with law. 5. In view of the above, the following order is passed: (i) The writ petitions stand disposed of. (ii) The order dated 18.10.2025, keeping IA Nos. 5 and 6 in abeyance until passing orders on IA Nos. 2 and 3, is set aside. - 17 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17170 WP No. 39053 of 2025 C/W WP No. 37710 of 2025 (iii) The trial Court is directed to decide IA Nos. 5 and 6, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. (iv) In view of the disposal of the main matter, all pending applications stand disposed of. Sd/- (H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD) JUDGE CM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 65
