At the time of motion hearing vide order dated 22.5.2007, it was inter alia stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has always been ready and willing to execute the sale deed provided the balance sale consideration is paid to him before the date as fixed in the agreement. It was also submitted that in fact the prices of land had fallen and the complainant is not interested in execution of the sale deed and, therefore, he is pressurizing the petitioner to return the earnest money. On the basis of the said contention, notice of motion was issued and in the event of arrest, interim bail was granted.
