..Respondents/Defendants Application praying that this Hon'ble Court be pleased to pass a judgment and decree against the defendants for a sum of Rs.5,26,857/- (Five lakhs twenty six thousand eight hundred and fifty seven rupees only) as admitted by the defendant in its notice dated 03.07.2014.

This Application coming on this day before this court for hearing the court made the following order: This Application is filed seeking to pass a judgment and decree against the defendants for a sum of Rs.5,26,857/- as admitted by the defendants in its notice dated 03.07.2014.

2. The applicants who are the plaintiffs, filed the above said suit for recovery of a sum of Rs.33,25,000/- in total, based on money transaction between the parties. The present Application is filed by the Plaintiffs seeking for a judgment and decree in respect of a sum of Rs.5,26,857/- based on the Lawyer's notice sent by the first defendant to the plaintiffs on 03.07.2014, wherein it is stated that the defendants require six months time to pay the balance amount, which according to the Plaintiff is Rs.5,26,857/-.

3. Counter affidavit is filed by the defendants, disputing the above claim of the applicants. It is specifically contended by them that there was no loan transactions between the parties and the present suit is totally false and filed with malicious motive. It is further contended that the notice of the first defendant is not related to the present suit and the plaintiffs cannot claim such money in the present suit.

4. Heard both sides.

5. The present application is filed for passing a judgment and decree in respect of Rs.5,26,857/- based on an

alleged demand made by the defendants in their notice dated 03.07.2014. The contents of the said notice, eventhough admitted by the defendants, it is stated that those averments are not in respect of the present suit claim. Therefore, the said issue has to be gone into only at the time of trial, by considering the respective pleadings and evidence let in by the parties. However, as the notice dated 03.07.2014 was admittedly issued by the plaintiffs wherein the defendants have sought for six months time to pay the balance amount of Rs.5,26,857/- , this Court is of the view that in order to protect the interest of both the parties, it would suffice, if a direction is given to the defendants to deposit the said sum of Rs.5,26,857/- to the credit of the suit, within a period of eight weeks from today. It is made clear that such deposit is, without prejudice to the contention of both the parties, to be considered in the main suit.

6. This Application is disposed of, accordingly. sd/.K.R.C.B.J 10.06.2015 //Certified to be a true copy// Dated this the day of 2015.
