1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO: 5623/2007 ( Studio Gold Darpan vs. State of Maharashtra and others) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memorandum of Coram Court's or Judges Order appearances, Court's orders of directions and Registrar's orders. .................................................................................................................................................................. Mr. N B Kalwaghe, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. S.S. Doiphode, AGP for Respondent No.1. CORAM: B.R. GAVAI , J. DATED: 15th February, 2008. *** Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks liberty to withdraw the petition, by restricting his claim to receive Rs.10,000/- which was deposited by way of earnest money. 2. Learned AGP vehemently opposes the said prayer. He submits that petitioner was specifically informed that if he does not comply with the condition, earnest money would be forfeited. 3. However, I find the request of the peititioner to be reasonable. 2 4. Petition is, therefore, disposed of as withdrawn. However taking into consideration the fact that it was a bona fide dispute between the parties, I am inclined to direct the Respondent No.1 to refund the amount of Rs. 10,000 deposited by way of earnest money to the petitioner. The said refund shall be done within four weeks from today. JUDGE sahare
