The Registry is therefore, directed to release the deposited amount by way of cheque/Banker’s cheque in favour of "Security Guards Board for Brihanmumbai and Thane Districts" and it is directed that the said Board inturn, shall disburse the monthly salaries of the concerned 20 Security Guards for the period of eight months from July, 2004 as if on duty in normal course and on disbursement of the wages, the Board shall submit a statement of such disbursement with the Registry of this Court. 5.
