    Case History
    Date: 09-08-2019
    Business: Adv. Mr. Ketkar with Adv. Kapil Shetye for plaintiff present.
    Adv. Mr. Khandagale for defendant/MCGM present.
    Adv. for plaintiff tendered draft Notice of Motion along with affidavit. O- Leave granted to register the Notice of motion, returnable on next date.
    Heard both the sides on ad-interim.
    ORDER on ad-interim relief
    Perused NM, plaint, documents filed by plaintiffs and heard both the sides . The plaintiffs, claiming to be in occupation of respective suit premises, have come up before the court apprehending dispossession by defendant MCGM without following due process of law. Ld. Adv. for defendant/MCGM has pointed out various discrepancies in the allotment letter/possessions receipts and argued that the plaintiffs have not come up before the court with clean hands. He has also asserted that the plaintiffs have  forged the documents in order to get the reliefs. This is a prima facie stage of the matter. The defendant MCGM has not produced any extract/letter/affidavit to support the case that the documents are forged. At this stage it will not be proper to jump to the conclusion about genuineness of the documents or otherwise. The prayer made in the notice of Motion is not to dispossess the plaintiffs without following due process of law. The plaintiffs are not claiming ownership rights in this suit. The defendant/MCGM, being a local authority,  has statutory obligation to follow due process of law for dispossessing the plaintiffs. Therefore ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause a is granted till next date. This order will not prevent the defendant/MCGM from following due process of law in respect of the suit premises for taking any action under relevant Municipal Law.

    Order Below Exhibit No. 01:
     Today, the plaintiff is absent to proceed with the matter. Though the matter is filed in the year of 2019, till date the plaintiff couldn't ensure due service of the suit summons on the defendants, even after specific directions. It seems that he is absent since last considerable time for no justified reasons. NM is already dismissed for default. Even thereafter no positive steps have been taken by the plaintiff. Nor any Order, staying this proceeding, is brought to notice of this Court. It is, thus, clear that the plaintiff lost his interest in the suit. Hence, the suit stands dismissed Under Order IX, Rule 2 of the CPC, 1908. All the pending applications are filed. He is called upon to bear the costs of the litigation. Bill of costs be drawn-up accordingly.
    	The Original documents, if any, filed on record be returned to the respective parties, on their submitting its Certified Copies, if the documents are exhibited, or Self-attested True Copies, if the documents are not exhibited, along-with undertaking to furnish the originals as and when required by the Court. The concerned Department to do the needful. The proceeding is closed.
