Insofar as the said amount has not been paid, there is default of the aforesaid direction passed on 22.5.2015. There is no ground for extension of time, which, in any case, is opposed by the non-applicant. Application dismissed.
Issues: Application for modification of decree/order for payment with reduced interest rate. Default in payment leading to dismissal of application. Suit decreed due to non-payment as per previous order.
The judgment deals with an application seeking modification of a decree/order for payment. The applicants/defendants requested to pay a specific amount by a certain date at a reduced interest rate. The court had initially directed the defendants to pay a sum by a specified date with a higher interest rate. The order was passed with the consent of both parties, stating that failure to make the payment would result in the suit being decreed. As the defendants failed to pay the required amount by the deadline, there was a default in compliance with the court's direction. The court found no valid reason for an extension of time, especially since the non-applicant opposed it, leading to the dismissal of the application seeking modification. In another aspect, the judgment addresses a suit where the defendant failed to comply with the court's previous order to make a payment by a specific date. The court decreed the entire suit in line with the previous consent given by the parties. Consequently, a decree sheet was ordered to be drawn-up to reflect the suit being decreed due to the defendant's non-payment as per the court's previous order.
