The Union of India ...Respondents. Mr.Prakash Shah i/by PDS Legal, adv. For the Petitioners. None for the Respondents. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 18TH JUNE, 2009 P.C. 1 Pursuant to the interim order dated 20.12.1989, the original petitioners had furnished bank guarantees as set out therein. Petition was subsequently disposed off by the order dated 3.9.2002. Grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the said dismissal of the petition and though they had applied for return of the bank guarantees till date, the respondents have not taken any action in the matter. The learned counsel further states that apart from that though the petition has been disposed off in their favour, they continue to renew the bank guarantees. Once the petition is disposed off, respondents are bound to return the bank guarantees if there is no other order from any other superior Court. 2 Considering that, we direct respondent no.2 to return the - 2- bank guarantees within 15 days of the petitioner producing the copy of the order of this Court.
