CR-4945-2026 -2- (approximately) with Executing Court. The respondent No.2 has filed execution application seeking release of aforesaid amount. The petitioner moved an application under Order XXI Rule 15(2) of CPC seeking protection of his interest. He primarily claimed that out of aforesaid amount of compensation, he should be paid 11.33% as per his share. Ld. ADJ by impugned order has rejected his application on the ground that land was owned by aforesaid entity, award was passed in its favour and appeal has been filed by it, thus, petitioner cannot be treated as joint decree holder in terms of order XXI Rule 15 of CPC. 3.

Learned counsel for the parties on the asking of Court graciously agreed to the arrangement to the effect that respondent No.2M/s Hydraulic and Pneumatic (India) LLP shall keep 5.5% of amount released by Executing Court in the form of FDR with any Bank and the petitioner would be free to move an appropriate application before Ld. Arbitrator before whom dispute between the parties is pending. The aforesaid arrangement would be without prejudice to rights and liabilities of the parties.
