3. Mr Pandey's instructions today are simply to say that there are settlement talks. There may well be. But that cannot mean that an ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (b) can be resisted, as Mr Singh for the Plaintiff quite correctly points out. Those prayers reads thus:
(a) That pending the hearing and final disposal of the present suit, this Hon'ble Court be pleased to issue an order and temporary injunction restraining the Defendants either by themselves or through their agents, servants, hirelings or any person claiming through and under them from:-
