Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents opposed the arguments raised by learned counsel for the petitioner and submitted that the petitioner has failed to comply with the order passed by this Court and he has not deposited the requisite amount of Rs.7 Crores, as directed by this Court, hence, under these circumstances, interference of this Court is not warranted. 6.
