1.
These five petitions have been filed by M/s. BDR Developers
Private Limited (“the petitioner”, for short) challenging the orders dated
4th August, 2020, passed in five suits that were filed by the
petitioner/plaintiff against various persons, named as defendants in the
said suits. Vide the said orders dated 4th August, 2020, separately passed
in each of the suits, the learned Trial Court had listed the cases for
arguments on the application under Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908 (“CPC”, for short). The petitioner/plaintiff seeks the
setting aside of the said orders primarily on the ground that the cases had
been fixed on 4th August, 2020 for passing orders on the applications that
the petitioner/plaintiff had filed under Order XII Rule 6 of CPC and under
Order XV-A of CPC, however, the learned Trial Court adjourned the
matter for arguments to be heard on the application filed by the
respondents under Order VI Rule 17 of CPC. Since the issues involved
are the same in all these petitions, they are being disposed of vide this
common order.
