      FOOD CORPORATION OF INDIA AND ORS            Appellant(s)

                                    VERSUS

      GONDIA AND ORS                               Respondent(s)

KURIAN, J.
1.    Leave granted.

2.    The limited request  made  by  Mr.  N.  K.  Kaul,  learned  Additional
Solicitor General, is that the interest of the appellants may  be  protected
by issuing a direction to the respondents  that  they  should  furnish  Bank
Guarantee for claiming the difference between old and new rates.  This is  a
point, apparently not canvassed before the High Court  and  it  is  for  the
appellants to apprise this point to the High Court.

3.  Therefore, with liberty to the appellants to approach the High Court  in
that regard, this appeal is disposed of.


4.     We  request  the  High  Court  to  dispose  of  the   writ   petition
expeditiously and preferably within six months from the date of  receipt  of
a copy of this Judgment.
      No costs.
