Heard on question of interim relief.
Counsel for the petitioner submits that he has already deposited the extra levy amount to the respondents. However, despite deposition of the said amount, they are not permitting the petitioner to lift the coal in question. A prayer is made to direct the authorities to permit the petitioner to lift the coal with respect to the previous tender, subject to fulfilling the conditions of the tender.
Counsel appearing for the respondents opposes the prayer for interim relief and submits that with respect to the amount deposited by the petitioner, verification is required.
It is pointed out by the counsel for the petitioner that for the instant tender the petitioner has deposited the entire coal amount, therefore, the respondents are directed to permit the petitioner to lift the coal in pursuance to earlier tender, if he has fulfilled all the conditions and future tenders and transactions thereafter, will be subject to furnishing the indemnity bond and security and subject to the verification.
As far as future transactions are concerned, they will be carried out by the petitioner subject to furnishing the indemnity bond and security.
