The Court: This is an application for enforcement of an award dated 29

September, 2017. By the award, the award debtor has been directed to pay a

sum of Rs.15,34,15,727/- (inclusive of interest).

It is submitted on behalf of the award holder that notwithstanding

repeated opportunities as well as the order dated 1 February, 2024 passed by

the Hon'ble Division Bench, the judgment debtor has failed to furnish a bank

guarantee in terms of the said order.

Mr. Sinha appearing on behalf of the judgment debtor submits that the

steps have been taken to furnish a bank guarantee in terms of the order dated

17th February, 2024 and the same would be furnished by 20 May, 2024.

In such circumstances, let this matter appear as 'To Be Mentioned' on 21

May, 2024.
