ORDER: These Petitions coming on for hearing on this day. Upon persuing
the petitions and Affidavits and material papers of this petitions and
upon hearing the arguments of Mr.S.Subbiah, Advocate for the petitioner
in all the cases and of Mr.S.Meenakshi Sundaram, Advocate on behalf of
the Respondents in all the petitions this Court made the following
order:
As directed by this Court, the revision petitioner in C.R.P(MD)No.
2296 of 2015 has filed an affidavit narrating the facts what had
happened on 15.10.2015 as well as on 26.10.2015.
2. It appears that as early as on 15.10.2015, this Court has
granted interim stay of all further proceedings in respect of O.S.No.
193 of 2010. It also appears from the 'B' Diary extract that on
13.10.2015, the applications in I.A.Nos.261 and 262 of 2015 were heard

Judge was on causal leave on 15.10.2015, the petitions were adjourned

pronouncing orders on 26.10.2015, the learned Judge was kept informed
by filing a memorandum by the revision petitioner saying that an
interim stay was granted by the High Court on 15.10.2015. Despite the
information given through the memorandum, the learned Judge had
proceeded to pronounce the order on 26.10.2015.
4. Being aggrieved by this, the revision in C.R.P(MD)No. 2296 of
2015 is filed. However, Mr.S.Meenakshi Sundaram, learned counsel
appearing for the respondents has demonstrated through the 'B' Diary
entry saying that no memorandum was filed on 26.10.2015 keeping the
Court informed about the order of interim stay.
5. In this connection, since conflictions appear from the entry of
'B' Diary as well as the affidavit filed by the revision petitioner,
this Court finds that it may be bette
