THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 5548 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) Heard Sri S.Krishna Murthy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the Learned Special Standing Counsel for the respondents herein. At their request, the main writ petition is being taken up for disposal. The short grievance in this writ petition is against the refusal to grant stay pending disposal of the appeal pending before the 2nd respondent. Though several contentions have been raised on merits, as a substantive appeal is pending, this Court has already granted interim stay on condition of payment of Rs.30,00,000/- by the petitioner before 31.3.2009, and the Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the conditional order has been complied withy, we consider it wholly unnecessary to examine the merits of the contentions urged before us. In the interest of justice, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the interim order passed by this Court shall continue to remain in force till the disposal of the appeal pending before the 2nd respondent. However, in the circumstances, without costs. Date: 14-06-2010 _____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Tjs/asp
