1. This Application has been moved praying for release of the deposited amount as the Appeal filed by the Appellants had been allowed on 25.08.2025.
2. The calculations were required to be verified with regard to the status of the deposit as claimed by the Applicant and we had therefore passed the orders calling upon the Registry to put up a report about the claim of a deposit of Rs.1,40,199/- said to have been made by the Applicant through a Bank Draft dated 30.08.2024.
3. The office has reported that there was a shortfall of Rs.1,49,766/-. We had perused the report of the office on 30.03.2026 and had called for a fresh report. The same has been tendered on 10.04.2026 which is extracted herein under:
"1. With reference to the direction issued by the Hon'ble Commission vide order dated 30.03.2026, to verify the record of the amount deposited with this Commission, Registry has once again verified its Record. Verification has also been done from the Filing Section & Account Section.
2. It is submitted that a sum of Rs.31,72,952/- has been deposited by Appellant at the time of filing First Appeal, as under:-
| Sl. No. | DD No. | Date | Amount |

| ii. | 092393 | 14.02.2024 | Rs.31,37,952/- |
| Total Amount Deposited | Rs.31,72,952/- | ||
4. It is further, submitted that the Appellant has deposited the sum of Rs.35,000/- + Rs.31,37,952/- = Rs.31,72,952/- only in the Registry of this Commission, at the time of filing of said First Appeal.
5. It is pertinent to mention that the Appellant has not deposited the sum of Rs.1,40,199/- in the Registry of this Commission, sofar.
