The petitioner G.Raghavan sought extension of time to comply with condition No. 5(i) of the Court's order dated 07.04.2026 (passed in Crl.MP.No.6105 of 2026), which had directed him to deposit 50% of the cheque amount to the credit of S.T.C.

Granting a final opportunity, the Court allowed the petitioner 10 days and no further time to make full compliance, strictly directing him to bring a Demand Draft for Rs. 10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs only), representing 50% of the cheque amount, drawn in the name of the respondent, on the next date fixed.
