NAZAR THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................. Crl.R.P.No. 845 of 20 10 .................................................... Dated this the 9th day of March, 2010 ORDER The petitioners, who were the sureties for the accused in M.C. No. 56 of 2006 in S.T. 389 of 1998 on the file of the J.f.C.M. I, Thrissur were proceeded against under Section 446 Cr.P.C consequent on the non appearance of the accused in the above case. The bond amount was for Rs. 30,000/-. To the show cause notice issued under Form 48 of the II Schedule of Cr.P.C the petitioners had no valid explanation to offer. The learned Magistrate imposed the bond amount as penalty. On appeal preferred by the revision petitioners before the Sessions Court, Thrissur, as Crl.Appeal No. 806 of 2006 the learned I Addl. Sessions Judge reduced the penalty to Rs.5,000./- Hence this Revision. 2. I see little scope for interference with the order passed by the lower appellate Court. The petitioners are, however, given two months' time to deposit the penalty amount. This Crl.R.P.is disposed of as above. Dated this the 9th day of March, 2010. Sd/-V.
