Petitioners contend that after the decree passed by the Civil Court became final, the Government issued orders in G.O.Ms.No. 1559 dated 23.9.2002 etc, according sanction for deposit of the amount covered by the decrees and though nearly five years have elapsed, the said amount was not paid and no direction in this regard is forthcoming.

Today, a copy of the proceedings dated 7.6.2007 issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, is placed. According to the same, a sum of Rs. 4,63,259/- referable to execution petitions filed in the EPs referred to above and covered by the G.Os mentioned in the preceding paragraphs has been deposited. This fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. With the deposit of the said amount, the grievance of the petitioner urged in the Writ Petition stands redressed. However, the liability of the respondents to deposit the amounts representing the interest that had accrued so far needs to be discharged. For the foregoing reasons, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall specify the decrees passed in O.P.Nos. 62, 70, 71 and 73 of 1985, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to Costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Date: 15.06.2007 KA
