they became furious and resultantly many persons from
the appellants side were seriously injured.

ii) Incorrect. Not admitted. The appellants will have to

face irreparable loss if the stay order is vacated.
iii) Incorrect. Not admitted. Due to the installation of new
outlet upstream, the outlet of respondents/appellants it
will adversely effect their irrigation and the applicants/
respondents will get water from the share of the
downstream outlets especially the tail outlet (the outlets
of the appellants).

iv) That in reply to this para, it is submitted that through

omission the names of 13 persons could not be included
whereas power of attorney of all the 43 persons is
present on the file. For the rectification of this error,
application under order 1, rule 10 filed before this
Hon’ble Court has been accepted on 19.7.2002.

v) Incorrect, the requirements of order 43, rule 3 have

been complied with.

vi) In reply to this para, it is submitted that under the Canal

size of their outlet just to defeat the case of appellants,
as such they are not entitled to any relief.

In view of the above-stated facts, it is

respectfully prayed that the instant application
being against the law and facts, may very
graciously be dismissed with cost.
