THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY W.A.NO.262 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) Aggrieved by a portion of the order dated 03- 01-2006 passed in W.P.No.23257 of 2004, by which the respondents are called upon to pay costs of Rs.25,000-00 in the manner specified by the learned single Judge, the respondents therein preferred the present appeal. The learned single Judge gave very cogent reasons for imposing such costs, which, in our view, does not warrant any interference in exercise of the power under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent Act. The writ appeal is therefore dismissed at the stage of admission. The learned counsel for the appellants submits that the appellants be given some reasonable time to deposit the costs since the time stipulated by the learned single Judge for doing so has already been exhausted. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to permit the appellants to deposit the said costs, as directed by the learned single Judge, within a period of two weeks from today and accordingly, we direct so. ---------------------- J.Chelameswar, J ------------------------ P.Swaroop Reddy, J mrk 29th March 2007
