THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SAM KOSHY Civil Revision Petition No.2524 of 2025

ORDER :

The present Civil Revision Petition has been filed under Article

227 of the Constitution of India challenging the docket order, dated 19.07.2025, passed by XXVII Additional Chief Judge Court, City Civil Court at Secunderabad, seized of CMA.No.9 of 2025 (for short ‘the impugned order’).

2. Heard Ms.Vladimeer Khatoon, learned counsel for the petitioners. Perused the material available on record.

3. The civil miscellaneous appeal has been preferred by the petitioners who are the plaintiffs before the I Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court at Secunderabad, seized of O.S.No.427 of 2025.

4. The said suit was filed seeking for grant of perpetual injunction. The trial court vide its order, dated 19.06.2025 has rejected the petition filed under Order XXXIX Rule 1 & 2 seeking temporary injunction. Against the said order of rejection of temporary injunction, C.M.A.No.9 of 2025 along with I.A.No.906 of 2025 was filed before the XXVII Additional Chief Judge Court, seeking for an interim injunction. The learned Additional Chief Judge had issued urgent notice to the respondents and fixed the matter on 28.07.2025 for taking I.A.No.906 of 2025.

5. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that pending the civil miscellaneous appeal before the XXVII Additional Chief Judge Court, Secunderabad, the officials of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (for short ‘GHMC’), are bent upon demolishing the suit schedule premises where the petitioners have been residing as tenants for generations. He further submits that the court has only issued urgent notice and the matter has been posted for consideration for grant of interim injunction. Meanwhile, if the respondent GHMC authorities demolish the suit schedule premises, the very purpose of filing of the appeal before the first appellate court as also the suit before the trial court would get frustrated and would render infructuous.

6. Taking into consideration the entire factual aspects of the case, this Court is of the considered opinion that as of now, purely as an interim measure, the respondents are directed to maintain status quo as it exists today i.e., 25.07.2025 in respect of suit schedule property till the XXVII Additional Chief Judge Court seized of CMA.No.9 of 2025 takes up the matter for hearing on 28.07.2025 for grant of interim injunction. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. The Court seized of CMA.No.9 of 2025 shall decide I.A.No.906 of 2025 strictly in accordance with law.

7. With the aforesaid direction, this civil revision petition stands disposed of. No costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending if any, shall stand closed.
