In the meantime, the respondents will not pursue the letter dated 19th January, 2024 (Annexure-8) whereby the Uttarakhand GST Department has written a letter to Uttaranchal Vidyut Nigam Limited to give money to the petitioner in their Account. Since the amount due as per the impugned order is Rs. 1,97,00,000/-, the petitioner will deposit 10% of this amount before this Court.” It is thereafter, the Demand Draft No. 609553 dated 11.10.2024 of Rs. 19,70,000/- was prepared and submitted by the applicant/appellant, which was deposited in terms of an FDR in the name of the Registrar General of the High Court.

Accordingly, the withdrawal application is allowed. Let the amount deposited by the applicant/appellant, along with the interest accrued thereon, be returned to the appellant forthwith.
