Ext.P10 is an order by which the petitioner was called upon to pay 50% of the amount due. 2. Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the first respondent. 3. I am not satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for interference as such. The demand is for 50% of the amount. It is pointed out by the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent that actually the amount payable is 75%. But at the same time, the petitioner being a University, some time should be granted to deposit the amount. In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing that if the petitioner deposits the amount demanded in Ext.P10 within a period of six weeks from today, the appeal will be entertained and disposed of on merits.
