than Rs. 45,10,000/- for the same. On the same day, a voluntary statement was also recorded on behalf of the respondent No. 2 that , to show his bonafide , he was willing to deposit a sum of Rs. 20,00,000/- with the trial court within a period of four months by the way of three instalments. The first instalment was to be paid within 15 days from the date of passing of the said order and the remaining amount was to be deposited within four months thereof. Thereafter, the respondent No. 2 preferred an application seeking modification of the said order, whereby an extension of time was sought to pay the first instalment. Subsequently, another application came to be filed, seeking a further extension for the payment of the first instalment and a fresh undertaking was given that a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/- would be paid within three months and the remaining amount of Rs. 17,00,000/- would be paid by the way of two instalments of Rs. 8,50,000/- each.

Once again, an application seeking further modification/extension of time was filed and in proceedings dated 23.09.2021, it was observed that repeated applications seeking extension of time came to be filed and each time, a fresh undertaking was given by the accused for payment of the sum.
