DATE : 25TH NOVEMBER,2009 P.C. 1. Heard. Perused petition. Rule, returnable forthwith. Mr.R.V.Desai, learned Senior Counsel waives service on behalf of respondents. Heard finally by consent of parties. 2. This petition is directed against the order dated 27th August, 2009 passed by the Tribunal directing petitioner to pre-deposit a sum of Rs.44,92,455/-. 3. After having heard the parties for some time, we do not propose to go into the larger issue raised in the petition, since the adjudication thereon would impeach upon the merits of the petition. Thus, looking to the consensus between the parties, the impugned order is modified to the extent that a sum of pre-deposit of Rs.44,92,455/- can be split-up in two parts, out of which, Rs.20,00,000/- shall be paid by the petitioner in cash and shall furnish a bank guarantee of any nationalized bank for the remaining balance sum of Rs.24,92,455/- within four weeks from today, which shall remain alive till the disposal of appeal and in the event the order is adverse to the petitioner, till four weeks thereafter. 3. In the above view of the matter, the Tribunal is expected to decide the appeal with expeditious dispatch in accordance with law. All contentions on merits are kept open. Rule is made absolute in terms of this order with no order as to costs. (J.P.DEVADHAR,J.) (V.C.DAGA,J.)
