Judgment
Heard learned counsel for the respondents.
The applicant was the plaintiff in B.C.C. Suit No. 5235 of 1993. The trial court has dismissed the said suit directing the applicants/original plaintiff to hand :2::2::2: over vacant and peaceful possession of the suit flat. The trial court has also directed the original defendant no.3 to refund the entire amount to the plaintiff. The learned counsel for the respondent, submits, that cheque of Rs.3,24,410/- is handed over to the plaintiff by original defendant no.3.
Learned counsel for the applicant, submits, that though the cheque is received by the applicant it is not presented to the bank. The first appeal filed on behalf of the applicant is admitted by this court by the order passed on June 15, 2006.
Having considered the fact that first appeal is already admitted by this court, in my view, interim relief, staying the order passed by the trial court, directing the :3::3::3: plaintiff to hand over possession, can be stayed subject to conditions : (a) that the plaintiff/applicant shall not alienate or part with the possession of the suit flat. (b) the hearing of the first appeal be expedited.
The submission of the learned counsel regarding damages for use and occupation of the property is left open to be agitated and considered by this court at the time of hearing of the appeal.
