2] This Appeal is directed against the order dated 3rd July, 2018, passed by the City Civil Court, Mumbai, thereby refusing the ad1/3

osk 39-AOST-21912-2018 & 31-CP-447-2018.odt interim relief in Draft Notice of Motion filed in S.C. Suit No.1921 of 2018.

3] The said Draft Notice of Motion was taken out by the present Appellants for interim injunction restraining the Respondent from disturbing his possession in the suit flat. 4] According to learned counsel for the Appellants, the trial Court has however refused the ad-interim relief, only on the ground that Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) is not made a party to the suit. It is submitted that, now the application is filed before the trial Court for making DHFL as necessary party to the suit. 5] In view thereof, it would be proper if the trial Court decides the Notice of Motion itself, after the application for joining DHFL as a party to the suit is decided, instead of this Court entering into the merits of the said order, when the application for impleadment of DHFL is pending before the trial Court. Ordered accordingly. 6] As regards the submission that the Appellants are in possession of the suit flat and their possession need not be disturbed, learned counsel for the Respondents controverted the said contention. 2/3
