Applicant Versus STATE GOVERNMENT OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. V. B. Nadkarni, Senior Advocate with Mr. Y. V. Nadkarni, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Mr. P. Talaulikar, Additional Government Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & U. D. SALVI, JJ. Date:- 9th July, 2009 P.C. Heard learned Senior Advocate for the appellant/applicant. Learned Advocate General is seeking time to obtain instructions on facts. However, after hearing the parties and the cause of urgency shown, we find it proper to pass the following interim order: (1) Principal amount of Rs.9,03,226/- shall be paid by the appellant to the respondents before 31.07.2009. (2) The appellant shall furnish bank guarantee for the balance amount after deducting the principal amount paid from Rs.50,67,265/- to the respondents by 15.09.2009. (3) The appellant to file undertaking on affidavit to comply with these parts by 15.07.2009 with this Court. If the undertaking is so filed, there shall be interim stay to the disconnection of electric supply. If the amount of principal is paid by 31.07.2009 and bank guarantee for the balance amount is furnished by 15.09.2009, the said interim stay shall operate during pendency of the appeal. If the undertaking is not filed or any of the amounts as mentioned above or the bank guarantee as stated above is not paid/furnished, the interim order shall cease to operate automatically. If the respondents receive the principal amount by 31.07.2009, the bank guarantee already furnished by the appellant because of the interim orders of this Court in Appeal from Order proceedings shall be released back in their favour with no objections of the respondents. The issue involved seems to be basically a question of law, hence the appeal is peremptorily set down for final hearing in the first week of October, 2009. B. P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. U. D. SALVI, J. lh/.
