Holding
The court permitted withdrawal of 50% of the deposited amount, ordered investment of the remaining 25% in a nationalised bank, allowed the stay application, and condoned the 833‑day delay in filing the first appeal.
Summary
The claimants filed a civil application seeking withdrawal of an amount deposited pursuant to an earlier judgment and award. The High Court, having earlier directed the depositing body to place 75% of the amount in the court, allowed the claimants to withdraw 50% of that sum upon furnishing a standard undertaking, while directing that the remaining 25% be invested in a nationalised bank for a suitable period. In a related application for a stay, the court granted the stay as per the prayer clause. A separate application for condonation of an 833‑day delay in filing the first appeal was also entertained, and the court, after considering the explanation, condoned the delay. All three civil applications were subsequently disposed of by the court.
Issues considered
- Whether the claimants may withdraw 50% of the amount deposited by the acquiring body.
- Whether the remaining 25% of the amount must be invested in a nationalised bank.
- Whether the stay application filed by the claimants should be allowed.
- Whether the delay of 833 days in filing the first appeal can be condoned.
