AJN 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2627 OF 2008 Ashok J. Ramsinghani. .... Petitioner Vs. Union of India & Ors. ..... Respondents Mr. Vikram Nankani with Mr. Vipin Jain and Mr. P.K. Shetty for the petitioner. Mr. A.J. Rana with Y.S. Bhate for the respondents. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & J.P. DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 20TH JANUARY, 2009. P.C. :- 1. Being aggrieved by order dated 20/3/2008 passed by the Special Director of Enforcement, Enforcement Directorate, Mumbai, the petitioner has preferred an appeal being Appeal No.110 of 2008 in the Appellate Tribunal for Foreign Exchange, New Delhi. The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 16/9/2008 passed by the Appellate Tribunal whereby the petitioner was directed to deposit 50% of the penalty amount. AJN 2 2. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. He has pointed out that the petitioner's brother – Daulat J. Ramsinghani who had also filed an appeal being Appeal No.140 of 2008 against order dated 16/9/2008 was directed to deposit 10% of the penalty amount. Since the penalty arises out of a common order, we are inclined to interfere with the order directing the petitioner to pay 50% of the penalty amount. On parity, we feel that the said order should be set aside and the petitioner should be directed to deposit 10% of the penalty amount. Order accordingly. Time to deposit the penalty amount is extended by 12 weeks from today. The petition is disposed of. Needless to say that on such deposit being made, the petitioner's appeal will be disposed of in accordance with law. The petition is disposed of in the aforestated terms. [SMT.
