JUDGMENT
Though this appeal is listed for admission, with the consent of learned Counsel for the parties, it is taken up for final disposal.
2. This appeal by defendant No.1 is directed against order dated 21.08.2017 passed on I.A.VIII in O.S.No.2942/2015 on the file of the XXIX Addl. City Civil & 4 MFA No.7978/2017 Sessions Judge, Bangalore, dismissing his application for vacating stay.
3. Heard Shri Suresh S.Lokre, learned Counsel for the appellant; Shri K.S.Harish, learned Counsel for respondent No.1; Shri Zulfikir Kumar Shafi, learned Counsel for respondents No.2 to 4; and Shri H.S.Venkatesh Murthy, learned Counsel for respondent No.9. Notice to respondents No.5 to 8 is dispensed with as prayed for by the appellant.
4. For the sake of convenience, parties shall be referred to as per their ranking before the trial Court.
5. The case of the plaintiff before the trial Court is, she purchased suit schedule property from Karnataka State Kadhi Village Industries House Building Co-Operative Societies Ltd., Bangalore. Based on the sale deed, plaintiff instituted instant suit for declaration of title and injunction. The suit was resisted by the defendants. By an order dated 17.1.2017, temporary injunction was granted by the 5 MFA No.7978/2017 trial Court. Defendant No.1 filed I.A.No.VIII under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of CPC for vacating interim order. On adjudication, the said application has been dismissed.
6. Shri Suresh S.Lokre, learned Counsel for the appellant submits that though it is averred by the plaintiff that the sale deed is executed through a power agent of first defendant, the endorsement issued by the Sub-Registrar shows that the alleged GPA dated 19.06.2001 was not registered. He submits that defendant No.1 is in possession of the property in his own independent right.
7. Shri Zulfikir Kumar Shafi, learned Counsel appearing for respondents No.2 to 4 submits that respondents No.2 to 4 are co-owners and supports plaintiff.
8. Shri H.S.Venkatesh Murthy, learned advocate for respondent No.9 namely, Special Officer, Karnataka State Khadi & Village Industries Worker's House Building Co-operative Society Ltd., submits that the sale of the suit 6 MFA No.7978/2017 schedule property is not in accordance with law. In substance, he also supports defendant No.1.
9. All learned Counsel appearing for the parties submit that the issues have been framed in the suit.
10. Since the property rights are involved, in the opinion of this court, it would be appropriate to dispose of this appeal with a direction to the trial Judge to dispose of the suit within a time limit so that the parties will know their status.
11. By consent of learned Counsel for the parties, this appeal is disposed of with a direction to the learned trial Judge to expedite trial and to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible and in any event, within a period of one year from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
12. During the pendency of trial, there shall be an order of status quo with regard to revenue entry as also possession of the suit schedule property. 7 MFA No.7978/2017
13. The appeal is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
In view of disposal of the appeal, I.A.No.1/2017 for stay does not survive for consideration and it stands disposed of accordingly.
Appeal disposed of.
