In Kumari Mamta vs. The State of Bihar (2026), Supreme Court's Division Bench of Justices K.V. Viswanathan  and Arun Palli passed a 2-page long order dated September 10, 026, wherein, it concluded:"3. Today, we are told that the petitioner is not willing to deposit. We passed the order of interim protection on the voluntary statement of the petitioner. The petitioner has not kept her words. We are initially inclined to impose cost but considering that it is a criminal matter, we refrained from doing so. 4. With the above observations, the Special Leave Petition is dismissed. The interim order will stand vacated. 5. Pending applications shall stand disposed of." 

The counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was not willing to deposit Rs.10,00,000/- which, on her volition she undertook to deposit. The undertaking was given on 2nd July, 2026 and based on that interim protection was obtained. Not only this, when the period of six weeks was to expire, an application for extension was moved and two weeks further extension was obtained. When that extended period of two weeks also expired and the matter was posted on 7th September, 2026 a statement was made that a property transaction is culminating on 9th September, 2026 and since money would come into the hands of the petitioner, the money will be deposited.
