Holding
The application is dismissed for want of prosecution and the interim order dated 01.05.2025 is vacated.
Summary
The applicants filed an application under Section 528 of the CrPC seeking relief, but failed to comply with the Court's earlier order dated 01.05.2025 requiring a deposit of Rs.35,000 with the Mediation Centre. The Mediation Centre report dated 01.08.2025 confirmed non‑payment and the applicants did not appear to pursue the application. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the application for want of prosecution and vacated the interim order previously granted. The trial court was directed to proceed with the matter as per law. No further orders were made.
Issues considered
- What is the effect of the applicant's failure to deposit the required amount as ordered by the Court?
- Can the interim order dated 01.05.2025 remain in force despite non‑compliance?
- Is the application under Section 528 liable to be dismissed for want of prosecution?
