The court ordered status-quo and directed the respondent to file a counter by 29.03.2019, with the case listed for the same date for further proceedings. 2. Additionally, the petitioner requested a stay on the operation of the impugned order pending the disposal of the petition. The court did not provide specific details regarding the stay but ordered a status-quo, indicating a temporary suspension of any action based on the impugned order until further proceedings. The case was scheduled for a future date for the production of relevant records, ensuring a comprehensive review of the matter before making a final decision.
