Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent and perused the material on record. 3. Though several contentions have been urged by both sides in support of their respective claims and having regard to the fact that the issues in controversy between the parties would necessarily have to be decided only after a full-fledged trial, without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the rival contentions, I deem it just and appropriate to dispose of this petition by directing the trial Court to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with law. It is further directed that till disposal of the suit by the trial Court as stated supra, both parties shall maintain status quo in all respects as on - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1670 WP No. 5306 of 2025 today in relation to suit schedule ‘A’ and ‘B’ properties.
