- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
Stay of execution is granted subject to the appellant depositing Rs.15,00,000 within six weeks, otherwise the stay stands vacated.
Summary
The appellant, Randhir Tulanand Mishra, sought a stay of execution of a decree concerning a flat, contending that the agreed consideration was Rs.3,50,000 while the plaintiff claimed Rs.7,50,000. Evidence showed the market value of the flat to be Rs.6,03,989, and the appellant was in possession of the property. The court considered whether a stay should be granted pending the appeal and what security, if any, should be required. It held that a stay could be granted but only if the appellant deposited Rs.15,00,000 as security within six weeks. The order further provided that failure to make the deposit would automatically vacate the stay. The interim application was therefore allowed and disposed of.

CORAM : SANDEEP V. MARNE, J.

P.C.:
1. The Application is filed seeking stay to the execution of the
decree. It is the case of the Plaintiff that agreed consideration between
the parties was Rs.7,50,000/-. Whereas it is the case of the
Appellant/Defendant that the agreed consideration was only
Rs.3,50,000/-. It appears that during the course of evidence it
transpired that the market value of the flat was Rs.6,03,989/-. In that
view of the matter, Applicant will have to deposit substantial amount as
a precondition for stay to the execution of decree. This is because the
Applicant is enjoying possession of the flat.
2. Accordingly it is directed that there shall be stay to the execution
of decree during pendency of the Appeal subject to the Applicant

depositing in this Court an amount of Rs.15,00,000/- within a period of
six weeks. Needless to clarify that in the event the deposit is not made,
the stay granted by this Court shall automatically stand vacated.
3. The Interim Application is accordingly allowed and disposed of.
