Hitesh Bhuralal Jain – Appellant
Versus
Rajpal Amarnath Yadav – Respondent
Certainly. Based on the provided legal document, here are the key points:
The appointment of a court receiver requires compelling reasons; mere prima facie case and conduct are insufficient to justify such an appointment without specific circumstances indicating property deterioration or other urgent needs (!) (!) .
The court has emphasized that the order of injunction already in place is adequate to protect the interests of the respondent, and the specific rejection of the receiver appointment by the lower court was justified (!) (!) .
The High Court's order to appoint a receiver was found to be unjustified because it lacked sufficient reasoning and was based solely on general expressions of prima facie case and conduct, without clear indication of how the property would deteriorate or how intervention was necessary (!) .
The appellate court set aside the High Court's order appointing a receiver and restored the order of the lower court, which had rejected the receiver appointment, reaffirming that existing injunctions sufficiently safeguard the parties' interests pending the final disposal of the suit (!) .
The court directed that the pending suit should be expedited and clarified that parties may seek consolidation with other related suits through appropriate applications before the competent court (!) .
The appeal was allowed, and there was no order as to costs, with all pending applications to be disposed of accordingly (!) (!) .
Please let me know if you need a more detailed analysis or specific legal advice based on this document.

4. The facts to the extent that are relevant for our consideration are that the appellant’s father is said to have established an HUF inter alia comprising the suit schedule property. Appellant’s father as karta entered into a development agreement with M/s Karmvir Intelligent Housing Pvt. Ltd. for the re-development and reconstruction of the suit schedule property.
5. The appellant contends that he filed a suit for declaration that he is entitled to 1/4th share in the suit schedule property. The suit is numbered as Suit No. 606 of 2016 and is pending disposal. The appellant also states that the High Court by order dated 10.12.2015 directed maintenance of status quo between the parties. It is necessary to mention at this very stage that the learned senio
