Court grants extension for petitioner to comply with orders amidst COVID-19 challenges
The court granted a short extension of time to the petitioner to comply with court orders due to challenges faced amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The petitioner, represented by Ms. Vibhooti Malhotra, was allowed to submit an affidavit detailing difficulties and remit a partial amount by a specified date. The court considered the impact of the pandemic on the petitioner's ability to fulfill obligations and scheduled further proceedings to potentially grant an extension based on the circumstances presented.
Issues: Compliance with court orders, extension of time due to COVID-19 pandemic
Compliance with Court Orders: The petitioner, represented by Ms. Vibhooti Malhotra, admitted to not fully complying with the directions given in the court's order dated 05.04.2021. Ms. Malhotra cited difficulties faced by the petitioner in collecting dues from debtors due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, the petitioner had only remitted &8377; 2,00,00,000 out of the required &8377; 5,00,00,000 by the specified date. The court noted that no application supported by an affidavit seeking an extension of time had been submitted by the petitioner, leading to a violation of the conditions set in the previous order.
Extension of Time Due to COVID-19 Pandemic: In light of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic affecting the country, the court, while acknowledging the violation of the previous order, decided to grant a short accommodation to Ms. Malhotra to provide an affidavit detailing the petitioner's difficulties. The court allowed the petitioner to remit &8377; 25,00,000 to the respondents by 01.06.2021 to demonstrate its good faith. The matter was listed for further proceedings on 02.06.2021, indicating the court's willingness to consider the petitioner's circumstances and potential extension of time based on the presented affidavit.
