Petition under Section 151 of CPC, praying that in the circumstances stated in the
counter affidavit filed herein, the High Court may be pleased to vacate the interim order
dated 28-08-2018 in I.LA.No. 1 of 2018 in W.P.No. 30323 of 2018 of 2018, pending
disposal of WP No. 30323 of 2018, on the file of the High Court.

The petition coming on for hearing, upon perusing the Petition and the affidavit
filed in W.P., and Counter affidavit filed in IA. No. 2 of 2018, and Order of High Court
dated 28-08-2018 made in !A. No. 1 of 2018 and upon hearing the arguments of M/S
Bharadwaj Associates Advocate for the Petitioner in IA. No. 1 of 2018 and Respondent,
and No.1 in IA. No. 2 of 2018, and M/s T.V. Sridevi, Advocate for Respondent No.2 in
IA. No.1 of 2018 and Petitioner in IA. No.2 of 2018, the Court made the following

ORDER:

(Proceedings taken up through video conferencing)

We have heard the parties relating to vacating interim order dated 28.08.2018 in I.A.No.1 of 2018.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/second respondent submits

that a blanket stay was passed without conditions.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the first respondent/writ petitioner submits that the interim order is continuing since 2018 and the writ petition may

be heard on merits.

We have considered the materials on record. We have examined the order

under challenge.

The first respondent/petitioner has been prima facie declared as a land grabber, which is to be examined in the course of the instant proceedings. Moreover, she was directed to pay compensation/damages at the rate of Rs.5,000/- per month on or after 01.09.2018 till recovery of possession. No direction with regard to payments/securing damages as accrued in terms of the

order had been passed.

ERE SS

In light of the aforesaid, we intend to balance the equities by ensuring deposit of the accrued and/or further damages subject to the result of the writ petition. Thus, we modify the order of injunction and direct the first respondent/petitioner shall deposit arrears of damages on and from 01.09.2018 till February, 2021 i.e, Rs.1,50,000/- in three equal monthly installments, first of which is payable on 01.03.2021, second payable on 01.04.2021 and the remaining on 01.05.2021. In addition thereto, the first respondent/petitioner shall deposit a sum of Rs.5,000/- per month commencing from the month of March, 2021 which is

to be deposited within 10 day of each succeeding month. Subject to such

payment, there shall be status quo with regard to possession of the suit property. In the event, the petitioner fails to deposit any of the installments or monthly damages as directed, stay shall stand automatically vacated. The petitioner/second respondent shall withdraw the compensation amount upon

furnishing an undertaking that she shall refund the same, subject to the result of

nmin i ai pen,

the writ petition.
