The question raised in this petition involves disputed facts as well as legal position arisen out of the same and therefore it would be in the interests of petitioners themselves to have the whole matter resolved in Civil Court. At this atage Mr. Fani stated that in view of the above observations of Court, he does not press this petition but requests that the status quo be maintained in respect of these plots at least for a period of two months by the respondents. The request appears to be reasonable. Mr. Abdul Hakim Khan and Mr. S.H. Kizilbash for respondents have not objected to the same and therefore we direct that for a period of two months from today status quo will be maintained by the respondents In respect of the plots which were claimed by these 20 petitioners. In case the petitioners are not able to secure any relief from the Civil Judge within the period of two months then the respondents will be free to deal with the plots as they wish. With this stipulation the petition and the CMA is dismissed as withdrawn.

H.B.T/N‑37/K Order accordingly.
