He challenges Annexure-I order dated 15.6.2010 passed by the Sessions Judge, Kollam in Crl.Appeal.No.231/2010 imposing inter alia a condition that he should deposit 15% of the cheque amount within one month from that date as a condition for suspending the sentence. 2. Even though I am not inclined to say that the percentage fixed by the Court below for depositing the amount is high, the amount is rounded off to Rs.4,00,000/- (Rupees Four Lakh only). The petitioner is given four months time from today to deposit the said amount. Annexure-I order shall stand modified to the above extent. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
