JUDGMENT : 1. Sh. Sachar, learned counsel for respondent No. 12 submits on instructions that subsequent to the order dated 31st March, 1997 respondent no. 12 has refunded the deposit made by 59,000 consumers by account payee cheques of Rs. 250/- each and also refunded to 8626 consumers their allotment money of Rs. 200/- each in the same manner, in addition to the deposit of 14,000 consumers made earlier and the continued supply of gas to the remaining 12,000 consumers. This assertion of respondent No. 12 is supported only by the contents of para 17 of the affidavit dated 17th October, 1997. Sh. A.K. Ganguli, learned amicus curiae, informs us that he has received certain complaints from consumers alleging that refund of their deposit has not been made to them by respondent No. 12. It is obvious that respondent No. 12 would have sufficient documentary material including the bank statement to support its assertion of refund of the amount to the consumers but the same has not been produced as yet. Respondent No. 12 must, therefore, produce the same and supply copies thereof to the learned amicus curiae and the learned counsel for the Central Government to enable them to verify the correctness of the statement made on behalf of respondent No. 12. Respondent No. 12 should also produce a copy of the statement by the concerned bank certifying the fact of encashment of those cheques in favour of the payee/consumers. The balance sheet of the year subsequent to 31st March, 1994 should also be produced. 2. Sh. Sachar further stated that the respondents 12 to 14 offer to have the entire dispute between the company and distributors) dealers settled by an arbitrator appointed by this Court to be assisted by a chartered accountant so as to bring an early conclusion to the dispute regarding the civil liabilities of these respondents. Learned counsel also submitted that a list of all the assets of these respondents together with their value and the nature of respondents' interest therein would be filed along with an affidavit to show that sufficient security is available for recovery of the amount due to the dealers/distribute in terms of liability under this head shown in the company's balance sheet as on 31st March, 1994. It is necessary to have these particulars for satisfaction that the respondents are possessed of sufficient assets to discharge this liability. It is necessary to have these particulars for satisfaction that the respondents are possessed of sufficient assets to discharge this liability.
