ORAL ORDER
This review petition is filed by the petitioners, who are respondent Nos.1 and 2 in W.P.No.8924/2018, seeking to review the order dated 09.07.2021 passed by this Court in W.P.No.8924/2018 (GM-CPC).
2. Smt.Elizabeth Rodrigues, learned counsel for the review petitioners submits that the petitioners have filed a suit against the respondents for the relief of specific performance to enforce the agreement of sale dated 11.03.2016 and pay the advanced sale consideration of Rs.1,72,55,378/- and the said suit is pending before the trial Court. It is submitted that during the pendency of the said suit, the defendant Nos.1 to 3 in the suit, sold the suit schedule property in favour of defendant Nos.8 to 11, hence, the petitioners filed IA No.14 seeking direction against defendant Nos.1 to 3 to deposit Rs.1,26,00,000/- before the trial Court. The said application came to be allowed by the trial Court, which was assailed by the defendant Nos.1 to 3 in W.P.No.8924/2018. It is further

submitted that retaining the amount by the defendant Nos.1 to 3 amounts to unlawful enrichment. It is also submitted that the possession was handed over to the review petitioners under the agreement and unlawfully they were dispossessed. Hence, she seeks to review the
order dated 09.07.2021.
3. Per contra, Sri.M.Chidananda Kedilaya, learned counsel for the respondent Nos.1 to 3 submitted that there is no error apparent on the face of the record to review the order dated 09.07.2021. It is further submitted that the order of this Court is challenged before the Hon'ble Supreme Court along with the order passed in the connected writ petition. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the Petition(s) for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No(s).16716/2021 vide order dated 29.10.2021 affirmed the order of this Court. Hence, seeks to dismiss the petition.

4. I have heard the arguments on both the sides and perused the order under review.
5. The petitioners filed an application in I.A.No.14 in O.S.No.47/2017 seeking direction to the defendant Nos.1 to 3 to deposit Rs.1,26,00,000/- before the trial court. The said application was allowed by the trial Court, which was challenged by defendant Nos.1 to 3 before this Court and this Court, considering the rival submissions, at para Nos.9 to 11, assigned reasons for allowing the writ petition. The perusal of the reason indicate that the suit is pending before the parties and the contentions urged with regard to the deposit of amount is required to be adjudicated before the trial Court including the contentions urged in the petition.
6. It is also to be noticed that the order dated 09.07.2021 passed by this Court in W.P.No.8924/2018 is affirmed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in SLP (Civil) No.16716/2021 vide
order dated
29.10.2021. The

operative portion of the said order dated 29.10.2021 reads as under:
"Item 13 - SLP (Civil) No.16716/2021 We are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the High Court. The Special Leave Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of."
7. Hence, I do not find any error in the reasoning of this Court in the order under review calling for interference in this petition. Thus, the review petition is devoid of merit and accordingly the same is hereby rejected.
