2. The learned trial Court accordingly deducted the amount of Rs.1,77, 249, which even the learned counsel for the appellant concedes that the appellant is not entitled to charge, from the amount claimed by the appellant and decreed the suit for the realisation of balance of Rs.2,84,
936. On merits the learned counsel for the appellant does not find any fault with the impugned judgment and decree.
3. The contention of the learned counsel for the appellant that the learned trial Court ought to have decreed the suit in the full amount claimed by the appellant on the *3rd May, 1983, when it was found that the respondents had not fulfilled the condition of deposit of Rs.3,93,658 on which leave had been granted to them to defend the suit, is not maintainable. The appellant's participation in the subsequent proceedings, without raising any objection to the respondent's non‑fulfillment of the condition of deposit of Rs.3,93,658, indicates that it wanted to settle the matter and was agreeable to the deduction of the amount of Rs.1,77,249 (which had been charged without any legal justification) from the amount claimed. Even otherwise the learned trial Court had power to extend the time for making deposit of Rs.3,93,658 or to waive the payment of the said amount and in the circumstances of the case it can very well be inferred A that the learned Court was not disposed to insist on compliance with the condition of deposit of Rs.3,93,
658. No injustice has been done to the interests of the appellant. This appeal is without any force and is dismissed with costs. H.S.T./1i‑17/L Appeal dismissed.
