It is further submitted that there was never any intention to disobey the order of this Court, which the petitioners hold in the highest regard. It is lastly submitted that no prejudice would be caused to the respondents if the delay in depositing the costs is condoned and the time for deposit is extended, whereas the petitioners would suffer irreparable prejudice as the certified copies of the documents are required for filing the fresh petition in terms of the liberty granted by this Court. 4.
