2.In the order dated 24.07.2018 made in W.P.No.42571 of 2006,

this Court had directed the respondent herein to pay a sum of

Rs.2,50,000/- to the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the

date of receipt of a copy of that order.

3.It is represented by the learned counsel appearing for the

respondent that after rejection of the approval petition in Approval

Petition No.332 of 2003 on 12.02.2005, the respondent had paid a

sum of Rs.1,50,000/- to the petitioner in the year 2008, however, this

fact was not brought to the notice of this Court on 24.07.2018 when

the order was passed in W.P.No.42571 of 2006. Hence, this Court

presumed that no amount was paid to the petitioner and directed the

respondent to pay a sum of Rs.2,50,000/- to the petitioner, within a

time frame.

the respondent that in compliance of the order dated 24.07.2018

made in W.P.No.42571 of 2006, the balance amount of Rs.1,00,000/-

was paid to the petitioner on 31.07.2019, however, belatedly. Hence,
