This application was actually filed on 25.11.2010 after obtaining leave to institute the second suit;
(ai) When the application for leave to withdraw the first suit with liberty was actually pending before the Fast Track Court, the applicant moved an application for injunction in the second suit C.S.No.970 of 2010.
