In Writ Petition No.6653/2008, 2 by order dt.12th August, 2009, the Division Bench, on hearing both the sides, directed the Municipal Council to make the payment, for which the Municipal Council has handed over cheques for an amount covering Rs.2,98,250/- payable to each of the petitioner. The grievance of the present petitioners is: those cheques are not honoured, for want of sufficient funds. The Counsel appearing for the Municipal Council, Parbhani, submits, amount of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rs.one lac), each, is deposited in the accounts of the petitioners, however, due to financial crunch, the remittance of the entire amount could not be made by the Municipal Council. The Counsel also canvassed, the very appointment of the petitioners itself is illegal and the issue is yet to be decided. 2. Taking all these aspects into consideration, the statement of Mr.Bora, on instructions, who appears for the Municipal Council, to remit the entire amount within four weeks, is accepted. In addition to the amount that has been agreed on 12th August, 2009, the Municipal Council will pay a consolidated amount of Rs.10,000/- (Rs.ten thousand) to the petitioners. The amount is to be deposited in this Court. The petitioners, after deposition of the amount, shall receive the same without making 3 an application. Contempt Petition disposed of accordingly. [K.U.
