Conditional disposal of appeals directed on timely deposit, with merits hearing to follow on compliance and dismissal in default.

The SC disposed of the appeals by directing deposit of specified amounts by a fixed date. On compliance, the appeals would stand allowed and the writ petitions would be disposed of, with the appeals to be heard on merits. If the deposits were not made within time, the earlier orders would remain in force and the appeals would stand dismissed.
