When this matter is taken up today, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the amount covered as per the award in OP(MV) No. 532 of 1991 would be deposited by the respondents within two months. This is recorded. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to deposit the amount in terms of the award in OP(MV) No. 532 of 1991 expeditiously, W.P.(C).No.32460/2010 2 at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
