Now, the petitioners have filed the above petition to grant extension of time for a further period of 6 months from 08.06.2015.

2. In the affidavit filed in support of the above petition, the petitioners have stated that they are running a small Grocery Shop in the said premises and the business is very dull and therefore, they are not in a position to comply with the order dated 03.06.2015 by depositing a sum of Rs.8,00,000/- on or before 08.06.2015. In these circumstances, the petitioners sought for extension of further time.
