Vikramajit Sen, J.1.

Such an Order does not fall within genre which, had it been in favor of the applicant, would have had the effect of finally disposing of the suit or proceedings. It is not maintainable in view of the pronouncement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Shiv Shakti Coop. Housing Society, Nagpur vs . Swaraj Developers and Others, : [2003]3SCR762 and Surya Dev Rai Versus Ram Chander Rai and other, : AIR2003SC3044 . 2.
