2 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 2294 OF 2008 IN CIVIL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 211 OF 2007 Office Notes,Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders CORAM : P.R. BORKAR.J. DATED : 21.08.2009 1. Heard Adv. Mrs. Ansari for the applicant and Adv. Shri H.T. Joshi for respondent No.1. As per directions of this Court the respondent has deposited amount of Rs. 5 lakhs in this Court. This is an application for payment thereof to the Maharashtra Wakf Board. It may be noted that this is a proceeding between two public bodies. One is the Maharashtra Wakf Board, which is statutory body looking after Wakfs and and other is the Maharashtra State Electricity (Civil & Maintenance) Division, Aurangabad, which is concerned with supply of electricity. The amount of Rs. 5 lakhs is said to be owed by the respondent to applicant Wakf Board. However, by say filed on 2 behalf of the respondent, it is stated that towards arrears of electricity, amount of Rs. 17.89 lakhs are due from the Wakf Board to the respondent – Corporation. In view of this and considering the submissions including the written instructions received by the advocate for the applicant, which are taken on record and marked “X”, in my opinion, it is desirable that the amount of Rs. 5 lakhs be kept in the fixed deposit in the name of the Court, so that ultimately the body entitled to the amount would get interest. 2. In the facts and circumstances, it is directed that the Registry should deposit the amount of Rs. 5 lakhs in the nationalized bank initially for a period of two years. 3. The Civil Application is accordingly disposed of. [P.R. BORKAR,J.] snk/2009/AUG09/ca2294.08
