The State of Maharashtra and Anr. ...Respondents ****** Mr.Ashok M. Saraogi for Petitioner Mrs. M.R. Tidake -APP for the State Mr.M.V. Swar for Respondent No.2 ****** CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 24TH NOVEMBER, 2010 2 (WP 1254 of 2010) P.C. 1. The Petitioner is challenging the order passed by the Sessions Court directing the Petitioner to deposit 25% of the compensation awarded by the Trial Court. It is submitted that the Petitioner is not in a position to pay 25% of the amount on account of financial constraints. It is also submitted that the Petitioner has a good case on merits. 2. This submission, however, has vehemently opposed by the learned counsel for the Respondent No.2. 3. In my view, taking into consideration the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, it would be appropriate if the Petitioner deposits 15% of the amount of compensation in all these cases. With this direction, the writ petitions are disposed of. The said amount will be paid within four weeks from today. Hearing of the appeal is expedited. 4. The Sessions Court is directed to decide the appeal on or before end of 28th February, 2010. All the contentions raised by the Petitioner are kept open. All 3 (WP 1254 of 2010) applications do not survive and are, accordingly, disposed of. (V.M. KANADE J.)
