Tribunal in respect of clause 1(a) of the interim reliefs sought by the
Petitioner in CP 03/KB/2024 and the main petition has been
adjourned to 18th June, 2024.
Counsel for the Appellant, while challenging the impugned

submitted that liberty may be granted to raise the issue of
maintainability on 18.06.2024 when the main petition is taken up
for hearing and direction may be issued to the Ld. Tribunal to
consider the application before proceeding further.
We have heard Counsel for the Appellant and after taking into
consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, the present
appeal is hereby disposed of, maintaining the order by which the
Interim Order was passed as Clause- 1(a) of the Petition, while
directing the Ld. Tribunal, seized of the matter, to consider the
application, if any, filed by the Appellant, challenging the petition
on the ground of maintainability on 18.06.2024 itself, before
proceeding further with the main petition.
