P.C. :

1.

Both the learned counsel state that the proceedings are still pending before the Magistrate even for consideration of interim relief and no adverse order is passed in favour or against either of the parties.

2.

In this case, it would be appropriate if the Magistrate is directed to decide the question of interim relief within a time bound manner. Both the learned counsel agree that if such an order is passed, this Petition may not be decided in the High Court at this stage. Bhalchandra
