High Court considered mandatory pre-deposit as a condition for entertaining a statutory appeal and found petitioner failed to comply despite personal hearings and specific directions, reflecting adversely on petitioner's conduct; combined with an unexplained and unreasonable delay in filing a writ challenging the appellate order, the court applied the doctrine that writs must be filed within a reasonable time and declined interference.
