IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE JURISDICTION jmi CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2694 OF 2011 WITH CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2695 OF 2011 Shri Abbas Mohamad Jamadar ­­ PETITIONER V/s. 1. Kranti Us Utpadak Todani Vahatuk Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit, Kudal, Tal.Palus. 2. State of Maharashtra ­­ RESPONDENTS Mr. Umesh R. Mankapure, Advocate for Petitioner Mrs. R.V. Newton, APP for State CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 11th OCTOBER 2011 P.C. 1. Heard. 2. Leave to amend name of the Petitioner in first Petition. 3. The learned counsel for the accused applicant has urged to terminate the order recorded by learned Sessions Judge, while entertaining application of the accused applicant, whereby he directed the accused applicant to deposit 50% fine amount. According to the learned counsel reasonable amount, could be 20% considering the nature of the transaction and the grounds raised in the appeal memo. 4. The order of learned Judge convicted the accused applicant in both the cases U/s.138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, is arising out of cheque dated 28th February, 2009. The complainant is Co­operative Society of Sugar Cane Growers, which has advanced the amount to the accused applicant, Sugar Cane Transport operator. 5. Considering these facts of the matter, I do not see any error on the part of learned Judge in his order dated 5th August, 2011 directing the accused applicant to deposit 50% of fine amount. However, considering the difficulties now advanced by the learned Counsel for the accused applicant such period of depositing is extended upto 30th November, 2011. Since the Petitions lack merit they are dismissed with above clarification extending time for deposition. Both the petitions dismissed. [ K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. ]
