Phatake, Addl. G. P. for the Respondent/State. CORAM : S. V. GANGAPURWALA, J. DATE : 04TH OCTOBER, 2011. ORAL JUDGMENT : . Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. With the consent of parties taken up for final hearing. 2. The Trial Court allowed the land acquisition reference filed by the petitioners. Pursuant to the award passed by the Court, the petitioners filed execution proceedings. The respondents deposited the amount in the said execution proceedings. The petitioners applied for withdrawal. The executing Court allowed the application for withdrawal. At the same time passed an order directing the petitioners to furnish the bank guarantee of any Nationalized Bank and also an undertaking. The said part of the order is assailed in the present writ petitions. 3. I have heard Shri Thote, the learned counsel for petitioners. Shri Phatake and Shri Choudhari, the learned 6 wp 7620.11 Additional Government Pleader and Shri V. G. Shelke, Shri S. B. Pulkundwar and Shri P. P. More, the learned A. G. P. for the respondent/State do not dispute that the award passed by the Reference Court has not been stayed by any Appellate Court. The executing Court cannot go behind the award. The Executing Court does not have any jurisdiction to impose such onerous condition on the petitioners while allowing withdrawal of the amount. The said conditions imposed are beyond the jurisdiction of the Executing Court. The learned Additional Government Pleader and Assistant Government Pleader appearing in the respective matters submit that the Appellate Court has not passed any orders of stay to the award passed by the Court. In such circumstances, such condition could not have been imposed. 4. In the light of above conspectus, the writ petitions are allowed. Rule is made absolute and the order imposing condition on the petitioners to submit bank guarantee and undertaking is quashed and set aside, however, with no order as to costs. Sd/- [ S. V.
