2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perused the materials available on record.
3. The learned I Additional Sessions Judge, V Additional Court (FAC), City Civil Court, Chennai while suspending the petitioner's sentence, imposed certain conditions. One such condition directed the petitioner to deposit 20% of the compensation amount before the learned XXXVIII Metropolitan Magistrate, Fast Track Court-V, Saidapet, Chennai, to the credit of C.C. No. 1383 of 2021, within a period of 60 days from the date of the said order dated 24.07.2026. On 22.09.2026, the petitioner presented the 20% of compensation amount by cash along with an application before the learned Judge. However, on 23.09.2026, the Court returned the cash, stating that the 60-day period from the date of the order 24.07.2026 had expired on 22.09.2026, making the presentation on the 61st day instead of within the stipulated 60 days. Hence, the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking an extension of time and a modification of the order to grant a further period of two weeks to deposit the 20% compensation amount from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the petitioner’s side , this Court is not inclined to allow the modification petition.
