JUDGMENT
When the contempt case was taken up, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had already withdrawn the amount on 19.10.2017 as stated by the first responent in his statement. It was submitted by the learned counsel that this was not conveyed by the petitioner at the time of instructing the lawyer to file the contempt of case. Evidently, the petitioner by this process unnecessary dragging the respondents to this court. Virtually this is a matter in which the petitioner should have been imposed him heavy cost. However, I refrain from doing so, considering the situation in which the petitioner is now stated to be in, which was very fairly acknowledged by the counsel for the contesting respondent. His conduct is liable to be deprecated. The amount now remaining more is than is Rs.26,02,457/- (Rupees twenty six lakhs two thousand four hundred and fifty seven only). This is recorded and the Contempt of case is closed.
