PRAKASH RAO AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO Writ Appeal No.1112 of 2008 JUDGMENT: (Per Sri Justice B. Prakash Rao) Heard both sides and at their request the main appeal itself is taken up for disposal. This writ appeal is directed against the order, dated 23.7.2008, passed by a learned single Judge of this Court in W.V.M.P Nos.90 and 103 of 2008 and W.P.M.P.No.225 of 2008 in W.P.No.217 of 2008, whereby and whereunder the appellants/petitioners were allowed to continue in depositing of the rents subject to the certain conditions including the condition No.1 which is as under:- “The writ petitioners shall collectively deposit a sum of Rs.80,000/- each at the beginning of season for both Karif and Rabi with respondent No.1 and subject to such deposit, they are entitled to cultivate the land and raise crops.” Aggrieved by the same, the appellants have filed the present appeal. Having considered submissions on either side and on perusal of the record, we are of the considered opinion that since the proceedings are still at interlocutory stage, we are not inclined to go into the merits of the case foot forth by both sides. Therefore, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since it has been represented that initially as directed by this Court, the amount of Rs.80,000/- has already been deposited by the appellants with the Registrar (Judicial), we feel it appropriate to reduce the amount from Rs.80, 000/- to Rs.60, 000/- by modifying the condition No.1 of the impugned order as under:- “The writ petitioners shall collectively deposit a sum of Rs.60,000/- (Rupees sixty thousand only) each at the beginning of season for both Karif and Rabi with respondent No.1 and subject to such deposit, they are entitled to cultivate the land and raise crops.” Except the above modification, the impugned order of the learned single Judge shall remain unaltered. In the result, subject to the above modification, the Writ Appeal is allowed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE B.
