THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER FLOOD PROTECTION DIVICION Versus M/S HIMACHAL WIRE INDUSTRIES PRIVATE LIMITED CARBA - 14 of 2026 14.09.2026 Present: Mr. Sanjay Dutt Vasudeva, Deputy Advocate General, for the petitioner. Mr. Atul Jhingan & Mr. Gunjan Sharma, Advocates, for the respondent. CARAP-82 of 2026 By way of instant application, prayer has been made on behalf of applicant/respondent for release of award amount lying deposited in the Registry of this Court. Though by way of filing reply to the application, prayer made in the application has been opposed on the ground that in the event of appeal being allowed, it would be difficult to recover the amount, but having taken note of the fact that considerable time is likely to be consumed in conclusion of appeal, coupled with the fact that impugned award was passed on 31.07.2019, applicant/respondent cannot be denied the fruits of litigation and as such, this Court sees no reason to deny the prayer made in the application and accordingly, the same is allowed with a direction to Registry of this Court to release 50% of the award amount lying deposited with it along with up-to-date interest in favour of the applicant by remitting the same in its account, detail whereof has been furnished in the application subject to verification and undertaking that in the event of appeal being allowed, amount received in terms of instant order shall be returned/re-deposited back along with up-to-date interest. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, remaining amount shall be kept in FDR till further orders. Application stands disposed of. CARBA - 14 of 2026 Admit. Since pleadings are complete and parties are duly represented, let the case at hand be listed for final hearing in due course. In the meantime, record of learned Abritrator be called for.
