¶24

The only dispute is with regard to the payment of the IV^th installment to be made by the petitioner amounting to ₹12,18,596/-. This IV^th installment has not been paid by the petitioner so far while the V^th installment is required to be paid by 30.04.2026.

¶25

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready to make the payment of the installments due against him after harvesting of the crop if some breathing time is given to the petitioner.

¶26

He further submits that the respondent cannot stop the petitioner from harvesting the crop as the license has been granted to the petitioner which is scheduled to be expired in the year 2027.

¶27

Per contra , learned counsel for the respondents submits that the total amount which is due against the petitioner till date is ₹59,96,155/- apart from V^th installment i.e., ₹12,18,596/-.

¶28

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having perused the record of the case, this Court is of the view that the amount which is shown due against the petitioner appears to be exorbitant in view of the fact that the IV^th installment (15%) which the petitioner has to pay is ₹12,18,596/- and the V^th installment (15%) which has to be paid by the petitioner by 30.04.2026 is ₹12,18,596/-.

¶31

It appears that the amount which has been stated by learned counsel appearing for the respondentUniversity appears to be mis-calculated as this cannot be four times of the amount as per the installments. Further if harvesting is not allowed to the petitioner, the entire crop would be destroyed. That will not be in the interest of any of the parties.

¶32

In this view of the matter, respondentUniversity is directed to permit the petitioner to harvest the crop. Petitioner shall deposit the IV^th and V^th installment as per the original license fee calculated, by 30^th September, 2026, after harvesting the crop along with late fees and interest, if any, as prescribed under the license.

¶33

Accordingly writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
