Thus, at present the figure must have crossed the amount of Rs.1,00,00,000/-. It can be said that the petitioner must have increased the activity and so, the use of water must have been increased. It can be said that the petitioner has misused the process of law and by taking interim relief, the petitioner used the water in industrial activity, which was kept for public, but it avoided to make payment. Some data is given by the respondents to support the contention that the water was actually used. The data contains the water available, water lapsed due to evaporation and water used for other purpose and then inference is also drawn that remaining water was used by petitioner company which is adjacent to the storage tank. In any case, when the petitioner company has admitted that in the past, it's need was more than three lakh liters per day, it can be presumed that the need increased every year. The petitioner did not approach this Court to submit that it had started taking water from other sources and it was not collecting the water from tank and so, this contention made at 11th hour cannot be considered. In the result, the petition stands dismissed. Civil Applications, if any, are disposed of. Interim relief stands vacated.
