within a period of 4 weeks before the trial court. But the order of this court also not complied with.
3. Now, the counsel for the petitioner filed an application seeking extension of time to comply the said order. Except seeking for extension of time, how much time to be extended is not mentioned. However, in the affidavit, in paragraph 4, it is stated that four weeks time may be granted. But counsel appearing for the respondent would submit that even not made any deposit before the first appellate court as well as before this court within a time.
4. Having considered the conduct of the revision petitioner and in the application, though time is not stated in the application but in the affidavit, it is stated as four weeks, but not placed any material before the court for having an intention to comply with the order. Except the bald prayer for seeking four weeks time to deposit the amount, even not made any efforts to offer on demand before this court. When such conduct is noticed by this court and when the amount was not deposited before the appellate court as submitted by the counsel for the petitioner and no bona fides in the application

for seeking of extension of time, it is not a fit case to extend the time. Hence, I.A.No.2/2026 is rejected. Consequently, the revision petition is also dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE
