The petitioner failed to deposit the required amount under the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019, despite receiving Form SVLDRS-3 from the respondent after considering Form SVLDRS-1 filed by the petitioner. The court held that the petitioner's reasons for non-payment were inconsequential, as the scheme's terms and conditions mandated payment within 30 days of issuing Form SVLDRS-3. Relying on the Supreme Court's decision in M/s. Yashi Constructions, the court ruled that modifying the scheme by extending the payment date is impermissible. The Bombay High Court's decision in Shri Arjun Amarjeet Rampal's case, involving a technical glitch, was distinguished as inapplicable. Consequently, the petition was dismissed for the petitioner's failure to comply with the scheme's terms and conditions.
