For Appellants : Mr.R.Prabhakaran
COMMON JUDGMENT (Delivered by SENTHILKUMAR RAMAMOORTHY,J.) We heard Mr.R.Prabhakaran, learned counsel for the appellants.
2. These appeals are directed against an interim order dated 15.7.2020, which was subsequently extended by order dated 14.8.2020. Upon perusal of the two interim orders, it is clear that they are purely ad-interim in nature and the learned Judge extended the earlier interim order on the basis that the parties had not filed their counters in the matter.
3. Accordingly, we are not inclined to entertain these appeals at this juncture. It is open to the appellants to file petitions to vacate the interim order and take the matter forward before the learned Single Judge.
W.A.Nos.1095 and 1101 of 2020 are dismissed. No costs. Consequently, C.M.P.Nos.13367 and 13507 of 2020 are closed. -s/d- Assistant Registrar True Copy Sub-Assistant Registrar sasi To
