Holding
The court ordered that the applicants may withdraw 75% of the deposited amount with interest upon furnishing an undertaking, with the remaining amount to be invested in a nationalised bank.
Summary
The applicants, heirs of the deceased Mahadeo Krishana Bhanduge, filed a civil application seeking withdrawal of Rs.10,48,261 deposited by the acquiring body. The court noted a prior order in First Appeal (St.) No.15473 of 2024 allowing a similar withdrawal and, for consistency, ordered the same relief. It permitted the applicants to withdraw 75% of the amount with accrued interest upon furnishing a satisfactory undertaking, directing the balance to be invested in a nationalised bank. The interim relief previously granted was confirmed, and any stay application was disposed of. Thus, the applicants received partial withdrawal rights subject to conditions.

3. In view of the aforesaid order and for the sake of consistency,
a similar order is required to be passed in the present Civil Application.
4. The Applicants are permitted to withdraw an amount of
Rs.10,48,261/- deposited by the Acquiring Body. It is brought to notice
that, in similarly situated matters, this Court has permitted withdrawal of
75% of the amount, with accrued interest, on furnishing an undertaking.
A copy of the order passed in such matter is placed on record. I,
therefore, propose to follow the same course.

of the aforesaid amount, along with the accrued interest, upon furnishing
an undertaking to the satisfaction of the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court.
The remaining amount shall be invested in any Nationalised Bank for an

pursuant to the order passed by this Court, the interim relief granted
earlier is hereby confirmed. The Civil Application for stay, if any,
accordingly stands disposed of.
