DATE : 14th AUGUST, 2026 PER COURT : 1. These applications have been filed by the applicants – claimants with the prayer of vacating interim relief granted by this Court vide common order dated 02nd December, 2020. 2. It is submitted by learned counsel for the Applicant that Respondent No.1 – acquiring body has obtained stay from this Court vide order dated 02nd December, 2020 subject to depositing 50% of the amount awarded by the reference Court. According to him, the acquiring body has not disclosed to this Court that in connected matters, this Court had granted stay on the condition of depositing entire amount of award. Inspite of granting stay, the acquiring body has failed to deposit the said amount within stipulated period. However, subsequent thereto, the said amount has been deposited, but the fact remains that in the other connected matters, the acquiring body has deposited 100% amount. Therefore, the applicant has come with a prayer seeking direction to the respondent – acquiring body as recorded hereinabove. 2 / 3 953-CA-9147-26.odt 3. Learned counsel for the Applicants has drawn my attention to the order dated 03rd July, 2026 passed by this Court in connected Civil Application No. 7839 of 2020, where similar prayer made by the acquiring body has been allowed by this Court. 4.
