The only ground for filing this Writ Petition was that there were discrepancies and mistakes in calculating the amount due from the writ petitioners. When the matter came up before us on 29-06-2005, it was stated that about an amount of Rs.10 lakhs was due from the petitioners and not Rs.16 lakhs and above, for which a notice has been given. Therefore, we passed an order on 29-06-2005, giving time to the petitioners to deposit Rs.10 lakhs. We had also made it clear that if the amount is not deposited within the stipulated period of time, the stay would stand vacated. The amount was not deposited. Today, we are told that the respondents are already proceeding with the sale of the property. Therefore, we do not think there is any necessity for keeping this Writ Petition alive. Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ---------------------- (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) 21st November, 2005 ----------------------- (R.Subhash Reddy, J) LUR
