During pendency of the writ appeals, this Court, on 09-11-2005, passed an interim order directing the appellants to deposit the said V.R.S. benefit amount of 25% i.e. Rs.3,05,000/- to the credit of the suit in O.S.No.1463 of 2005 filed by the appellants-Corporation and it was made clear that the said amount shall be kept in the fixed deposit in any Nationalised Bank and the interest, accrued thereon, shall be subject to the result of pending suit. It is brought to our notice that the above suit filed by the appellants was dismissed on 13-12-2006 by the I Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad. Therefore, we are of the opinion that nothing survives in the writ appeals and accordingly, both the writ appeals are dismissed. No costs. _________________________ JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH _____________________________ JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR 26th February, 2009 Kvr
