ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by G.R.Swaminathan, J.) Heard Mr.P.Jesusmoris Ravi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs.Revathi Manivannan, learned standing counsel for respondent No.2.

2. This writ petition cannot be entertained, as the impugned order is appealable before the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal and therefore, the petition is liable to be dismissed.

3. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner states that he would be satisfied if the time limit imposed by the Debts Recovery TribunalIII, Chennai in I.A.No.968 of 2026 in S.A.No.307 of 2026 dated 18.05.2026 is extended by a further period of two weeks.

4. On perusal of the records, it becomes clear that the Debts Recovery Tribunal-III had granted time till 02.06.2026 vide the impugned order dated 18.05.2026. The petitioner claims that he has already paid a sum of Rs.30,00,000/- (Rupees thirty lakhs only) out of the entire amount due and payable, which is Rs.80,00,000/-. The time given, that too to pay a sum of Rs.50,00,000/-, may be, in our view, is onerous.

5. Hence, considering the request of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the time fixed under the impugned order alone is extended by two weeks, i.e., till 16.06.2026.

6. It is needless to state that if the petitioner fails to honour this undertaking given before us, he will lose the remedy of appeal. With the aforesaid direction and observation, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition stands closed.
