Holding
Both interim applications were allowed in terms of prayer clause (b) and disposed of, and the appeal was admitted and listed for hearing.
Summary
The State of Maharashtra filed a land acquisition suit against the heirs of the deceased Vitthal Ramji Patil. Two interim applications (Nos. 11681 and 11682 of 2025) were filed seeking relief under prayer clause (b). The Court examined whether the interim relief could be granted, noting that in the second application the decree amount had already been deposited and subsequently withdrawn by the claimants. It allowed both applications in terms of prayer clause (b) and ordered the interim applications disposed of. The main appeal was admitted, the record to be taken telephonically, and the matter listed for hearing on 13 October 2026.
Issues considered
- Whether the interim application seeking relief under prayer clause (b) should be granted.
- Whether the withdrawal of a deposited decree amount justifies granting the relief sought in the interim application.
