Dr. Warunjikar, the learned Counsel for the Petitioner-Plaintiff, submits that the liability to pay the amount, in accordance with the Consent Terms, was primarily that of Defendant Nos. 1 and 2 therein but the Plaintiff had agreed to pay a sum of Rs.3,25,00,000/- for and on behalf of Defendants. Defendant No. 2 has filed an undertaking to pay the said amount. Therefore, the execution and operation of the impugned order attaching the property of the Plaintiff deserves to be stayed. 5. When this Court expressed its disinclination to entertain the aforesaid submissions, Dr. Warunjikar, the learned Counsel for the Petitioner, on instructions submits that the Petitioner would deposit a sum of Rs. 1,00,00,000/- before the executing Court. 6. Mr. Godbole, the learned Counsel for Respondent Nos. 2 and 3, on instructions, submits that Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 are also willing to deposit a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- before the executing Court. 7. Mr. Bhansali, the learned Counsel for Respondent No.1-Decree Holder, opposes the grant of indulgence to the Petitioner and Respondent Nos. 2 and 3. It was submitted that the Petitioner and Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have given multiple assurances before the executing Court, and resiled therefrom. Therefore, the executing Court was constrained to issue the attachment warrant. ARS 2/5 901-WP-13139-2026.DOC 8. It appears that the executing Court has issued the attachment warrant qua the property of the Petitioner-Judgment Debtor No.1. The Petitioner has shown willingness to deposit a substantial amount of Rs.1,00,00,000/-. In addition, Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 intend to deposit a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- before the executing Court. That leaves a balance amount of Rs.1,32,00,000/- 9. Mr. Godbole, the learned Counsel for Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 submits that, consistent with the undertaking filed before the executing Court, Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 would deposit the balance amount of Rs.1,32,00,000/- before executing Court, within a period of 90 days. 10. Mr Bhansali, the learned Counsel for Respondent No.1-Decree Holder, submitted that in the event time is granted to Petitioner and Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to deposit the amount, they be directed to pay penal interest on the balance amount. 11. In the light of aforesaid statements, this Court considers it appropriate to give some time to the Petitioner and Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to comply with the undertakings in the Consent Term, subject to deposit of the amount of Rs.1,25,00,000/-. To test the bonafide of the Petitioner and Respondent Nos. 2 and 3, it would be appropriate to suspend the execution and operation of the impugned order for a limited duration. 12.
