The order dated 30.06.2016 passed by this Court, which reads as follows:- "On behalf of the Petitioner Mr. Shekhar Naphade, learned senior counsel has submitted that there is no provision of law under which the Impugned Order could have been passed by the courts below. In reply, Mr. B.H. Marlapalle, learned senior counsel for the respondents has placed reliance upon Order XVA of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (in short 'the CPC') as applicable in the State of Maharashtra which permits the Court below to issue a direction to make deposit on account of arrears up to the date of order. Issue arises as to what shall comprise the arrears in view of the terms of the agreement or the law. On behalf of the petitioner, it has further been submitted that order XVA of the CPC will not apply to a Small Causes Court. No notice need be issued as contesting respondent No.1 has appeared by the learned counsel who waives notice on its behalf. Petitioner may serve the other proforma respondents by dasti process. The respondents may file counter affidavit on the issues indicated above and other relevant issues within four weeks. Rejoinder, if any, may be filed within further four weeks. List thereafter. Until further orders, the Impugned Order shall remain stayed on the condition that the Petitioner shall deposit an amount of Rs. 6,50,00,000/- (Rupees Six Crores and fifty lakhs only) in the trial court within eight weeks to the credit of Respondent No.1-the plaintiff.
