Yashwant Waman Patil & Ors vs Municipal Corporation Of Greater ...

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against an interim order of the Bombay High Court regarding the withdrawal of compensation amount deposited by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay. The Court held that while the principal amount must remain in fixed deposit until the writ petition's resolution, the appellants could withdraw the interest accrued without providing a bank guarantee. The Court emphasized the need for fairness given the long possession of the land by the respondents without compensation, thus modifying the High Court's conditions.
