Industrial Security Consultants Private Ltd. And another. .... Respondents Mrs. Lata Desai for the applicant in civil applications and respondent No.2 in the writ petitions. Mr. Anilkumar Patil for respondent No.1 in civil applications and -2- petitioners in writ petitions. CORAM: H.L. GOKHALE, Ag. C.J., & V.M. KANADE, J. DATE: MARCH 01, 2007. P.C. Both these civil applications seek withdrawal of the amounts which have been deposited in the writ petitions in this Court in pursuance of the interim orders passed by this Court in the main writ petitions. 2. The writ petitions have been filed by the two petitioners seeking to challenge the amount of levy payable to the Board under the notification issued under the Maharashtra Private Security Guards (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1981, which was payable by the petitioners. The two petitioners had deposited 25 per cent of the amount as directed in the two matters. Subsequently they have paid the entire amount of levy and, therefore, for that matter nothing much remains in the petitions. Mr. Anilkumar Patil, appearing for the petitioners, states that the amounts have been paid in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties. This being the position, both these petitions will stand disposed of. The amount deposited in this Court will be returned to the applicant-Security Guard Board. The -3- Board will be at liberty to withdraw the amounts with interest, if any, accrued thereon. Both the writ petitions and the civil applications are accordingly disposed of.
