► The Court directed that the amount be deposited within 10 days, failing which the courts below were directed to take “coercive steps” to secure the deposit.
So my question is
1.What application/remedy should be filed before the 10-day period expires to protect against coercive action?
2.If the respondent cannot make the required lump-sum deposit due to lack of present financial capacity, can he seek extension, modification, clarification, or payment by installments from the High Court?
3.What does “coercive steps” mean in this order—can it include arrest/warrant or other recovery measures?

Dear Client,
I understand your legal query. Based on your legal query, I suggest that you have the option to file an application for an extension of the time period if you cannot pay the lump-sum amount within the given time period. Coercive steps by the Court can include issuing warrants or attaching your immovable property for non-payment after failing to provide a sufficient reason for non-payment or not filing an application for an extension within the given time period.
Hope this answer helps!
