Shanthi, v. The South Arcot Diocesan Church,

ORDER The present Civil Miscellaneous Petition has been filed for extension of time granted by this Court in CRP.No.4241 of 2024 and CMP.No.23609 of 2024 dated 09.01.2026.

¶2In the order dated 09.01.2026, this Court after elaborately discussing the merits of the case, dismissed the Civil Revision Petition and directed the petitioner to vacate and handover vacant possession of the property on or before

28.02.2026.

¶3The petitioner has now filed this petition for extension of time by eight months for handing over vacant possession of the property. The petitioner in the affidavit filed in support of the petition has stated that she and her family were running their business in the demised property, which is subject matter of the Execution Petition in EP.No.4086 of 2014 and that the said business was the only means of her and her mother's livelihood. The petitioner further stated that since the petitioner was in possession of the demised premises for a long time, she needed further time to find suitable alternative accommodation to carry on her business. The petitioner therefore prayed for extension of time by eight months, for identifying alternative accommodation for continuing her business.

¶4The petitioner in the affidavit has not stated about the steps taken by her to comply with the order passed by this Court in CRP.No.4241 of 2024 and CMP.No.23609 of 2024. The petition is completely bereft of any averments regarding the steps taken by the petitioner to obey the orders of this Court for vacating the premises within the stipulated time. Moreover, the petitioner could very well have sought more time even when the order was passed in the Civil Revision Petition. Having accepted the order, the petitioner cannot be heard to state that the time granted by this Court was insufficient, more so, when no justifiable reasons are cited to extend the time. This Court is therefore, not inclined to extend the time. This Court finds absolutely no merits or bonafides in the petition seeking extension of time. In the view of this Court, the petition is filed vexatiously only with a view to prolong the proceedings.

¶5For aforesaid reasons, this Civil Miscellaneous Petition stands dismissed. No costs. 09-03-2026 DSA Page4 of 5 To
