Authority: Supreme Court of India

Order Date: 27-10-2026

Case Overview

  • Petitioners: Trianz Holdings Private Limited & Others; Respondents: P. Muralidhar & Others.
  • The petition arises from an impugned final judgment and order dated 28-04-2026 in RFA No.1052/2013 passed by the High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru.
  • Petitioners filed Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.35180/2026 and sought an extension of time to deposit the principal amount of Rs 4,00,00,000 (Four Crore only).
  • Earlier, by an order dated 28 September 2026, the Court stayed execution of the decree, directing the petitioners to deposit the amount with the Registry within one week.
  • Counsel for petitioners (Mr. Chander Uday Singh, Senior Counsel) informed the Court that the demand draft was ready but could not be handed over within the stipulated time.

Court Order

1. The Court confirmed the earlier stay of execution and the requirement to deposit Rs 4 crore.

2. Recognising the petitioners' inability to deliver the demand draft on time, the Court permitted the petitioners to deposit the demand draft with the Registry, and the Registry shall accept it.

3. IA No.316259/2026 is therefore allowed.

4. The matter is listed for further hearing after four weeks.

5. Parties may file a counter‑affidavit, if any, in the interim.

Final Outcome

  • The petitioners are granted an extension to deposit the Rs 4 crore demand draft with the Court Registry; the case will be heard again after four weeks, and a counter‑affidavit may be filed before then.
