The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that vide the judgment and decree dated 16.08.2024 passed in Title Appeal No. 14/2024, the learned First Appellate Court while interfering with the judgment and decree dated 30.04.2024 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division) No. 2, Kamrup (M), Guwahati in Title Suit No. 95/2016 held that the plaintiffs were entitled to get refund of the advance amount Page No.# 3/4 of Rs. 11,00,000/- along with interest @ 9% per annum from the date of the judgment till payment is made including return of another amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- paid in the account of the defendant unilaterally on 05.06.2015. The learned counsel further submitted that as there is a accruing interest of 9%, permission may be granted to the applicant to deposit the said amount before the Registry and give due liberty to the opposite parties who are the appellants in the accompanying appeal to seek release of the said amount, if so advised. 4. Taking into account that there is a direction passed by the learned First Appellate Court to return the amount of Rs. 11,00,000/- with interest @ 9% along with amount of Rs. 2,00,000/-, it is the opinion of this Court that not permitting the applicant to deposit the said amount as directed vide the judgment and decree dated 16.08.2024 would cause difficulties on the part of the applicant. 5. Accordingly, this Court, therefore, disposes of the instant application thereby granting liberty to the applicant to deposit an amount of Rs. 11,00,000/- along with interest @ 9% calculated from 16.08.2024 before the Registry of this Court. In addition to that, the applicant is also given the liberty to deposit another amount of Rs. 2,00,000/-. Page No.# 4/4 6. It is further observed that if the amount is duly deposited, it shall not be a bar on the part of the opposite parties, who are the appellants, in the accompanying Second Appeal to file application for release of the said amount.
