- Disposal
- DISPOSED OFF
Holding
The Court ordered that the deposited amount, with interest, be transferred to the Cancer Hospital, Aurangabad.
Summary
The applicants, Laxmanrao Nanabhau Gadekar and others, filed a civil application seeking a refund of the amount they had deposited with the Court while issuing a notice on 26 February 2019. Their counsel, on their instructions, requested that the deposited sum be donated to a charitable purpose instead of being returned. The Court considered whether it could direct the transfer of court‑deposited funds to a charity. Relying on its inherent powers to dispose of applications and to order appropriate disposition of money, the Court ordered that the amount, together with any accrued interest, be transmitted to the Cancer Hospital, Aurangabad. Consequently, the civil application was disposed of with the donation order.
Issues considered
- Whether the Court can order the donation of money deposited with it instead of refunding it
Subjects
- civil application
- refund
