Holding
The modification petition is allowed, and the earlier order is modified to direct the lower court to disburse the deposited amount to the petitioner.
Summary
Petitioner Nand Kishor Singh filed a petition seeking modification of an earlier order dated 05.02.2025, which had allowed the opposite parties to deposit a refund amount in the lower court but did not direct its release to the petitioner. The petitioner argued that, without a specific direction, the lower court could not hand over the deposited amount, preventing him from withdrawing it. The court examined whether the earlier order could be modified to include a directive for disbursement. It held that the modification was appropriate to ensure the petitioner could receive the deposited funds. Consequently, the court directed the lower court to disburse the amount to the petitioner and modified the earlier order accordingly.
Issues considered
- Whether the earlier order granting permission for deposit can be modified to direct the lower court to disburse the deposited amount to the petitioner.
Subjects
- modification of order
- withdrawal of deposited amount
- criminal miscellaneous proceedings
- court direction
- disbursement
