ORDER
This is an application to extend the time stipulated in the judgment dated 24.05.2022. As per the judgment, the date of first instalment was fixed as 30.05.2022. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the judgment was received/uploaded only on 31.05.2022 and, hence, petitioner could not comply with the directions to pay the instalments.
2. Having regard to the aforesaid submissions, I am of the view that the application for extension of time should be allowed. Accordingly, the time stipulated in the judgment for payment of the 1 st instalment shall stand modified from 30.05.2022 to 11.07.2022 and the 2 nd instalment stipulated in the judgment shall be paid on 22.07.2022. The remaining instalments shall be continued to be paid as stipulated in the judgment.
