Status quo

As ivil Court ordered to maintain status Quo , One cannot change / or do anything extra in the suit premises. Your Flat seller  shd have informed you. 

You purchased the flat on 30th August, 2012. When was the order of the court for status-quo was passed. If before the passing of the order you were in possession of the flat, then  be in the possession. Apply to the court for vacation of the status-quo order, with a prayer to the court that you are staying in the flat and minor interior fittings may be allowed to be done, subject to the outcome of the case.

Please also see that whether the status-quo order is only against your flat or in connection of all the flat in the appartment.

If you are not the party, and if status quo order is not served on you, it is not binding to you, however,you may become a party and submit true facts that you are legal owner of the flat and submit regd.sale deed and get order vacated.

It is true that the status quo order is passed in a title suit where there is two parties (plantiffs and defendants). Here I may like to say that when an order under 144 Cr.P.C. restraining the other party is made, in that case I have seen that the order also applies to other persons who is not a parties to the proceeding. So going by the said logic I think the status quo order is directed aganst parties, but the subject is the property, so in that case it will also apply to any other parties. It is altogether a different issuse where the person was not a party and was having no knowledte of the status quo, but legally it applies to all. If the person is not a parties to the suit then in that case applicaton under Order 39 R 2A does not apply to him.
