¶11

Mr. Amit Sale, learned Advocate of the Petitioners pointed out that the status quo order is operating since 6^th March, 2014 till date and the same be continued till the disposal of the suit and the hearing of the suit be expedited.

¶12

¶16

Appeal No. 46 of 2014 challenging the same was dismissed by the learned District Judge-5, Sangli by order dated 22^nd September, 2015. However, it appears that by order dated 6^th March, 2014 passed in said Misc. Civil Appeal No. 46 of 2014 the status quo order was passed and the same was continued till disposal of the said Misc. Civil Appeal. The learned District Judge after dismissal of Appeal by order dated 22^nd September, 2015 continued earlier status quo order till appeal period.

¶17

The said status quo order is continued in the present Writ Petition by order dated 18^th December, 2015 and the same was continued from time to time. This Court by order dated 27^th September, 2016 continued the said status quo order by clarifying the same. Therefore, it appears that status quo order as clarified by this Court by order dated 27^th September, 2016 is continued in this Writ Petition for more than six years.

¶18

Thus the factual position on record shows that the status quo order was continued from 6^th March, 2014 by the Learned District Judge and thereafter by this Court by order dated 18^th December, 2015 from time to time with the clarification as contained in order dated 27^th September, 2016. Thus no useful purpose will be served by disturbing the said order of status quo after about 7 years. However, in the facts and circumstances of this case and in the interest of justice it is necessary to expedite the hearing of the suit.

¶19

Thus Writ Petition is disposed of by passing following order:-
