                                            ORDER

Admitted. Issue notice to the respondent by speed post.

2. On a consideration of the pleadings and materials on record and the undertaking made by the learned Government Pleader that the petitioners are ready to deposit the amount of Rs.1,51,477/- before the Execution Court within three weeks, I am inclined to pass a conditional interim order.

Hence, I direct the Court of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Kozhikode to defer all further proceedings in E.P.No.37/2019 till 14.09.2022 to enable the petitioners to deposit an amount of OP(C) No.1630/2022 3/4 OP(C) No.1630 of 2022 -2- Rs.1,51,477/- before the court below on or before 06.09.2022. If the amount is deposited, the same shall be released to the respondent in accordance with law. However, if the petitioners fail to deposit the amount within the stipulated time frame, the court below is directed to march ahead with the proceeding dated 29.08.2022 and sell the vehicles, and dispose of the execution petition expeditiously, in accordance with law.

Hand over.
