¶22

Motion No. 2830 of 2025 in the substantive Suit filed by two purchasers of flats in redevelopment undertaken by Society from the earlier developer. The Society has suffered ignominy of redevelopment in the present case over the past few years. Suit is itself filed in the year 2016 seeking specific performance of agreements for sale of 2011. Be that as it may, the limited reason why indulgence of this Court is sought for by Defendant No. 4 Society in the present AO is in view of the wording of clause 4 of the operative order of the injunction order dated 06.06.2025 which is appended at page No. 60 of the AO.

¶23

4. Both the learned Advocates have drawn my attention to the prayers in Notice of Motion of which prayer clauses (b) to (d) have been allowed by the Trial Court in the interregnum until the final disposal of the suit proceedings. These prayer clauses, prima facie, inter alia, pertain to specific area and right of the Plaintiffs with respect to shop No. 2 and office No. 2 respectively. However, learned Trial Court has also made prayer clause (e) absolute against all Defendants and if the said prayer clause (e) is read, prima facie, there is some ambiguity in understanding the implementation of the said prayer clause. Hence, Appellant Society is before the Court seeking clarification which it could have even obtained from the Trial Court itself.

¶26

5. When prayer clause (e) is read, though it is Mr. Shah's case that it pertains only to the extent of prejudicing or effecting rights of Plaintiffs in the said twin units, the Society on reading operative clause 4 and the prayer clause in the first five lines thereof would persuade the Court to clarify this position. According to the Society, there cannot be a blanket injunction or restriction on the Society for proceeding with further redevelopment and therefore Society seeks such a clarification.

¶27

6. On reading prayer clause (e), I accept the submissions made by Mr. Damle and clarify the fact that prayer clause (e) is nothing but a consequential prayer in respect of prayer clauses (b) to (d) which have been granted and it shall pertain only to the extent of the aforesaid twin units of Plaintiffs and nothing more. The Society is free to undertake further steps for redevelopment with the new developer and there shall be no impediment whatsoever for the Society to do so in accordance with law.

¶28

7. With the above directions, no further directions are required and the order dated 06.06.2025 stands upheld with the aforesaid clarification.

¶29

8. All parties to act on a server copy of this order downloaded form the High Court Website.

¶33

10. All parties to act on a server copy of this order and proceed further.
