When the Writ Appeal came up for final disposal the learned counsel for the appellant submits that under written instructions there is due of Rs.3,00,000/- and if some time is granted they will clear the amount. But, on the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board disputed the above. 4. Though the matter was adjourned, no information is placed before this Court. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant came forward with the information that the due amount is Rs.3,00,000/- and requested some more time to pay the said amount. 5. In such circumstances, we consider it appropriate if any amount more than Rs.3 lakhs is due, it shall be paid within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of the order, failing which the impugned order will continue in force.
