J.H.BHATIA,J. J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE: 26th February, 2008. DATE: 26th February, 2008. DATE: 26th February, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant, who was respondent in Appeal From Order No.711 of 2007 was paid salary for the months of July and August, 2007 by the order of the Court on the condition that in case appeal is decided against the applicant, he shall refund salary amount within two days after decision of the appeal. That order was passed 19-9-2007 and the payment was made to the applicant on 21-9-2007 ad 1-10-2007. The appeal came to be allowed against the present applicant on 8-10-2007. However, the operation of the order passed by this Court was stayed for a period of eight weeks so that the respondent, i.e., the present applicant could go to the :2: Supreme Court. Thereafter, the applicant filed Special Leave Petition, which came to be dismissed on 3rd December, 2007. Within two days after that the applicant offered to refund that money by cheque, which the respondent/company refused to accept that on the ground that the salary amount should have been paid within two days from 8-10-2007 when the appeal was allowed. By this application, the applicant seeks direction that the amount be accepted by the appellant/respondent. 3. Taking into consideration the circumstances noted above, I find that there was no delay on the part of the applicant. In fact, he had eight weeks time because of the stay granted by this Court but even before the expiry of eight weeks immediately after the dismissal of the Special Leave Petition and almost at the end of eight weeks, he offered to make payment. Therefore, applicant is allowed to tender two cheques dated 5-12-2007 towards the refund of the salary amount to the respondent/original appellant and in case, the appellant refuses to accept, the same may be deposited in the Court. 4. Application stands disposed off. :3: (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
