CHANDRACHUD, J. 7th July, 2008. 2 P.C. : An objection has been raised on behalf of the Respondents on the ground that the Court fees have not been paid. The Respondents have relied upon a judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in Maharashtra Industries Development Corporation v. Govardhani Constructions Company1. Counsel appearing for the Petitioners has submitted before the Court that though according to the Petitioners, the judgment of the Division Bench does not consider the provisions of Section 8 of the General Clauses Act, inasmuch as the judgment of the Division Bench is binding upon me as a Single Judge, the Petitioners agree and undertake to deposit the Court fees within a period of two weeks from today without prejudice to such remedies as are open to them in law. The statement is accepted. The arbitration petitions have by consent been taken up for hearing and final disposal and have been heard on that basis. ***** 1 2007(2) Bom. C.R. 835. 3
