Supreme Court in Civil Appeal Nos.4014-4017 of 2015, by order dated 24^th April, 2015, permitted the claimants to withdraw whole of the amount arrived at under the award passed by Reference Court.

¶20

5 Learned Counsel appearing for Respondent No.1 vehemently opposes the application and contends that the applicants cannot claim parity in view of several factors and that an identical request made by another claimant has been turned down by this Court.

¶22

6 In the instant matter, since applicants are required to deposit amount towards income tax liability, we deem it appropriate to direct concerned Respondents to deposit further sum of Rs.1,00,00,000/(Rs.One Crore) in this Court within a period of four weeks from today and on deposit of the amount, applicants are permitted to withdraw the same on furnishing an undertaking to this Court to the effect that in the event of success of appeal, they shall redeposit the amount within a period of six weeks from the date of such decision.
