He stated that the petitioner has also been paid the conrpensadon for such acquisition. I{e has also drawn the attention of this Court to the sale deed No.25t of 201g, dated 2O.lO.2OlZ in betwcen the petitioner and the Tahsildar, Wargal, under which the total of i.27 Acres of land has been sold for.the purpose of the railway track.

7. Having regard to the rival , contcn5cns and the rnaterial on record, this Court finds that during the pender-rcy of the CMA, an interim directio:l to maill'.ain sfatug-quo was passed and this Court lras also passed an o;'der to maintain - a 1{D,J cRP./^b. tlso ol2O2S starus-quo pending adjudication of the Civil Revision petition. This Court finds that the documents are filed by the petitioner to demorlstrate that the petitioner,s land was divided into two portions by laying of the railrvay track after acquisition of part of land of the petitioncr for raiiway track and that cne portion has railway track on the Eastern sicle and other portion has riihvay track on Western side. The petitioner has sold portion of the land having railway track as the Eastern boundary and the balance of the tand lefr with the pctitioner would be the land with railway track as its Western boundary. This Court finds that both the trial Court as wcli as the First Appellate Court have failed Lo appreciate this factual aspect and have rejected the application of thc petitioner for ad_interim injunction.

8. In view thereof, the order in C.MA_No. I I of 2024, dated I I .O4.2O25 as well as the order in I.A.No.2O of 2023, dated 01.03.2024, are side aside and the trial Court is directed to reconsider the issue after considering the documentary evidence filed by the petitioner/plaintiff.
