PER COURT : 1. This is an application by which the applicant/original petitioner in Writ Petition No.6990 of 2008 seeks extension of the period specified by this Court in its initial order dated 21.3.2009 and thereafter in the order dated 15.5.2009 for deposit of an amount of 2 Rs.25,000/- which has been made as a condition precedent for entertaining this petition. Since the writ petition filed by the petitioner is a public interest litigation, this Court by its order dated 21.3.2009 directed the petitioner to deposit an amount of Rs.25,000/- giving six weeks’ time to the petitioner to comply with the same. However, the petitioner did not comply with the aforesaid directions of this Court and the petitioner moved the learned Vacation Judge who granted period upto 8th June 2009 for deposit of the said amount. By this application, the petitioner seeks further extension for depositing the said amount. 2. Since sufficient time has been granted to the petitioner for deposit of the said amount and we are not inclined to grant extension to the petitioner as prayed for. However, in the interest of justice, we grant extension of two weeks as a last chance. We make it clear to the petitioner that no further extension would be granted. 3. Application allowed to the extent indicated above with no order as to costs. ( R.K.DESHPANDE, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) (vvr/ca5476.09) 3
