THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.836 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners filed W.P.No.15968 of 2010 complaining that the respondents have neither executed a sale deed nor refunded the amount for the flat purchased by him in an auction. The writ petition was allowed on 25.03.2011 directing respondents 2 to 4 therein to refund the entire sale consideration, stamp duty and registration charges with interest at the rate of 12% per annum within two months from the date of the order. This contempt case is filed alleging that the respondents have not complied with the directions issued by this Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is no doubt true that there was delay on the part of the respondents in complying with the orders of this Court. The fact however remains that subsequent to the filing of the contempt case, the respondents addressed a letter, dated 09.08.2011 offering to pay a sum of Rs.86,28,815/- comprising of the sale consideration, stamp duty and registration charges, and interest calculated for two months from the date of receipt of the order in the writ petition. A cheque for an amount of Rs.41,43,082.43 ps. was taken out in the name of M/s. ICICI Bank which is said to have advanced loan to the petitioners for purchase of the flat. The petitioners do not dispute the fact that they secured loan from the bank, on a no objection certificate issued by the respondents. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the respondents also to ensure that the amount due to the Bank is paid. However, there is some dispute as to the exact amount that is to be paid to the Bank. To avoid further controversy, the petitioners placed before this Court a copy of the letter, dated 13.08.2011, which is to the effect that the amount due is Rs.35,00,000/-. If that be so, the petitioners can obtain a letter from the Bank addressed to the respondents indicating the amount. Hence, the contempt case is closed, directing that – (a) the respondents shall forthwith release the amount of Rs.86,28,815/-, out of which a separate cheque shall be issued in favour of ICICI Bank covering the amount advanced by it to the petitioners for purchase of the flat. The Bank shall also issue a no dues certificate in favour of the respondents; and (b) the respondents shall also pay interest for a further period of two months and a cheque in relation thereto shall be issued within one week from today. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 18.08.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.836 of 2011 Date: 18.08.2011 JSU
