. We have heard learned counsel Shri. M.S. Kulkarni for the petitioners and Mr. D.S. Manorkar for respondent No. 1. In these matters, after the award is passed by the Arbitrator, the acquiring body had moved the District Judge under section 34 of the Arbitration Act. The District Judge dismissed the application under section 34. Aggrieved thereby the acquiring body has fled appeal before this Court under section 37 of the Arbitration Act.

claimants seek direction against the respondents to deposit the amount.

In the present matters, the matters are now pending before this Court exercising frst appellate jurisdiction, the petitioners can make request before the Court where the appeals fled by the acquiring body are pending for directions against the acquiring body to deposit the amount in the court.

It would not be appropriate on our part to issue directions in the matters pending before the co-ordinate bench.
