On hearing the learned Counsel for the parties and on going through the material on record, we are of the view that there is no merit in the Writ Petition. The petitioner has not deposited the security deposit. He is also not coming forth with any proof that at any point of time he has deposited any amount with the respondents. He is not even sure as to how much amount he has deposited and in which form he has deposited it with the respondents. On the other hand the respondents have clearly denied having any deposit of the petitioner with them. In these circumstances, we dismiss the Writ Petition. However, in the interest of justice, we grant four weeks time to make the deposit. For four weeks, the impugned order shall remain stayed. No costs. ________________ (BILAL NAZKI, J) 4th August, 2004. ____________________ (S.ANANDA REDDY, J) ajr. To 1.
