Respondent subject to deposit of a sum of Rs.5,66,87,038/- within a period of 16 weeks from 16th February 2015. The written statement was to be filed within a period of four weeks from the date of such deposit. By the impugned order passed on 10th July 2015, the written statement has been ordered to be accepted after the Respondent deposited the amount in terms of the order dated 16th February 2015. The order accepting the written statement is not a judgment within the meaning of the Letters Patent. Even otherwise, we find no error in the order by which by condoning the delay of few days, the written statement was accepted. There is no merit in the Appeal and the same is dismissed.
