GURINDERJIT SINGH Vs. KARAMJEET SINGH

Decided On March 04, 2010
GURINDERJIT SINGH Appellant
V/S
KARAMJEET SINGH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This Revision petition is against order dated 24.8.2009 passed by Civil Judge (Jr. Division), Moga whereby, while adjourning the case for hearing an application filed under Order 39 Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short 1 CPC'), he vacated the stay already granted.

(2.) Learned Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that there is an irregularity and illegality in the impugned order as the application filed under Order 39 Rule 4 CPC was yet to be considered when the stay already granted was vacated. It is also submitted that if the stay was to be vacated on the same day then there was no question of adjourning the case for 24.9.2009 for the purpose of hearing application filed under Order 39 Rule 4 CPC.

(3.) I find force in the arguments raised by the petitioners. There is a patent error in the impugned order passed by the learned Court below because status quo order was extended on 13.6.2009 upto 24.8.2009. Learned Court below should not have vacated the stay when application filed under Order 39 Rule 4 CPC was kept for hearing.
