Bombay High Court

The Superintendent Engineer, Tapi Vikas Mahamandal, Jalgaon and anotherversusAnil Basni Patil (P.O.A.) and others

Disposal: Admitted/Allowed/Granted/Rule Absolute

Holding

The court confirmed the interim stay relief on the ground that the applicants had deposited the entire amount as required.

Summary

The applicants, the Executive Director and engineers of the Tapi Khore Vikas Mahamandal, filed several civil applications seeking a stay of proceedings related to land acquisition. The trial court had earlier granted a conditional stay, requiring the applicants to deposit a specified amount. The applicants complied and deposited the entire amount on 10 August 2026. The learned advocate for the applicants submitted proof of the deposit, urging confirmation of the interim relief. The court held that the deposit satisfied the condition and therefore confirmed the earlier stay. Consequently, the civil applications for stay were allowed and the matters were disposed.

Issues considered

Whether the deposit of the amount by the acquiring body fulfills the condition precedent for confirming the conditional stay order
Whether the interim relief granted earlier should be confirmed upon such deposit

Subjects

land acquisition
conditional stay
