Now, this application has been taken out to withdraw the remaining 50 % of the amount being Rs.20,05,237.50/-, which stands to the credit of the present execution petition.

respondents succeed in OSA filed by them.

Heard both sides. Case records perused. This application has been filed for withdrawal of remaining amount of Rs.20,05,237.50 which stands to the credit of the present execution petition. The counsel for the Applicant/Petitioner has also filed the affidavit of undertaking to deposit back the said sum, in case the respondents succeed in OSA pending before the Hon'ble High Court. The learned counsel for the Respondents raised an objection that the affidavit of undertaking shall be given for entire amount of Rs.40,66,387/-. But the above objection of the Respondent counsel is hereby rejected since the High Court has already permitted them to withdraw 50% of the amount deposited alongwith interest unconditionally. Thus, at this stage considering that an affidavit of undertaking has been filed, the Applicant/Petitioner is permitted to withdraw the remaining 50% of the amount being Rs.20,05,237.50 which stands to the credit of the present execution petition. Accordingly, this application is allowed. skg
