\par 
\par The matter has been before me on several occasions this year. 
\par 
\par This culminated in the parties entering into a good faith memorandum where they sort to resolve their differences by the application of a political but fair and democratic process.
\par 
\par The related memorandum of understanding is found at \lquote Annexure A\rquote  in the supporting affidavit to this application filed on the 11th of June, 2004.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12912697  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7762649\charrsid12912697 This is the affidavit of Mr. Anand Ram Sharma.
\par 
\par The purpose of that memorandum was to ensure that the parties continued to run the school for the benefit of the children while they gathered their membership together and properly called an Annual General Meeting.}{

\par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7762649\charrsid12912697 The defendant applicants have come to Court because they believe the plaintiff is seeking to take advantage over the process of conducting the AGM.}{

Essentially what they are saying to the Court is that the plaintiffs are stonewalling the approval of membership. That is a fair inference.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12912697  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7762649\charrsid12912697 The plaintiffs somewhat challenged by the amount of members the defendants have been able to secure don\rquote 
t want to face the political reality that would be the inevitable outcome of the AGM which is scheduled for Sunday the 13th of June.
\par 
\par Senior Counsel for the plaintiff respondents is unable to get proper instructions from his clients and so appears on a \'93pickwick\'94 basis.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12912697  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7762649\charrsid12912697 I accordingly treat the application for interim injunction as ex parte.
\par 
\par The best the plaintiff can offer at this time is a request for an adjournment of these proceedings to enable his clients time to respond to the affidavit prepared by the defendant applicants and informally served on him.
\par 
\par However, were I to grant this request I would deny the applicants an opportunity to participate in the political process as their membership would not be approved in advance of the AGM scheduled for Sunday.

\par
