JUDGMENT

Alok Sharma, J. - Contempt of the interim order dated 04.04.2001 as confirmed on 14.07.2006 is alleged in this petition. Thereunder it was directed by the court the "status quo" be maintained.

2. An order of the status quo is very amorphous and has to be grounded in and construed in the context of the underlying dispute. Counsel for the contesting parties admit that the dispute in SBCWP No.1445/2001 wherein the order of "status quo" in question was passed, arose in the background of a suit for declaration of khatedari rights partition and injunction under Section 88 and 188 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955.

3. Reverting to the facts relevant to this contempt petition, during the pendency of the SBCWP No.1445/2001 against the judgement of the Board of Revenue arising from the suit for declaration, partition and injunction referred to above, Mst.Gulab the respondent No.4 expired. Based on her will dated 13.03.2008 Mangi Lal was entered in the revenue records as her successor Khatedar. This mutation entry is alleged in this contempt petition as contempt of the Court's order dated 14.07.2006 in SBCWP No.1445/2001.
