My uncle and I have been engaged in a partition suit from 2009.The suit is for the partition of a floor which I am currently in complete possession. I had got interim injunctions from the trial court till 2011 directing to maintain STATUS QUO in terms of nature and possession of the property. In 2011 the court passed an ex parte order in my favour and made the STATUS QOU injunction Absolute till the disposal of the plaint. In 2013 the trial court gave a preliminary decree stating both parties have 50% share of the property.
My question is
1. Does a preliiminary decree mean the plaint has been disposed of? (the plaint was filed by me )
2. Can the ex parte absolute injunction be challenged now in the lower court after so much time? (It has been more than 30 months since the ex parte order was passed)
