JUDGMENT
1. The appellant is aggrieved by the non-listing of their application filed under Section 39(4) CPC apropos an ex parte injunction passed on 07.04.2022 against them on the respondent (plaintiff’s) application. An amendment order regarding appointment of Local Commissioner was passed on 12.04.2022. The order was served on 19.04.2022 by the Local Commissioner who visited the appellant’s premises, an inventory of stocks was prepared and the stock was seized.
2. The appellant moved their Section 39(4) CPC application on 27.04.2022 seeking vacation of the ex parte stay. To their understanding, case was directed to be listed on 02.05.2022 with a noting “To be put up with file”. It was subsequently discovered by the appellant that the date had been modified to 10.05.2022, which Mr C.M. Lall, learned Senior Counsel for the respondent says, was the date earlier fixed in the main suit.
3. The appellant says that it is suffering on the account of seizure of the stock and the injunction which prohibits sale of their goods under their in-use label. The urgency for adjudication is impressed upon by the learned Senior Counsel for the appellant.
4. The learned Senior Counsel for the respondent has no objection if the case be taken up tomorrow, as listed, before the learned Trial Court. He says that within 3 days he will file his reply and the application could well be disposed-off by the learned Trial Court within 10 working days.
