Mr.Shailesh Kantharia, Advocate for respondent no.2. Mr. Deepak Thakre, APP for the Respondent State. --- CORAM : P.N. DESHMUKH, J.

DATED : 6th JUNE 2016 --- P.C. :

None present for the applicant. Heard Mr.Shailesh Kantharia, learned counsel for respondent no.2. It appears that vide order dated 3rd February 2016, statement was made on behalf of the applicant that applicant would deposit an amount of Rs.28 lakhs by demand draft with the Registrar of this Court within a period of four weeks from that date. Thereafter, though on some occasions, time was granted to comply with this statement. The said amount, according to the office note, is not yet deposited with the Registry. Order dated 29th April 2016 reveals that on that date also since no compliance was made even though the period

Tilak 2/2 (6)ABA-171-16 expired on 4th March 2016, time was granted and the matter was adjourned till today.

The applicant was protected by pre-arrest bail with directions to comply with the statement by depositing Rs.28 lakhs within a period of four weeks from the date of order, and on his failure to comply with the same, the interim relief granted, is directed, to come to an end without further reference of this Court. It further appears that vide order dated 29th April 2016, this Court observed that period of four weeks has expired on 4th March 2016.

Office notes reveals that the order to deposit Rs.28 lakhs is not yet complied, and in fact, interim relief granted to the applicant on 3rd February 2016 has already come to an end on 4th March 2016 itself. The application is thus, liable to be dismissed. Hence, the following order :

ORDER

Application is disposed of as dismissed.
