By judgment and order dated 27.4.2007 the petitioner has been convicted under Section 138 of N.I.Act by the learned Special Metropolitan Magistrate, Small Causes Court, Mumbai in CC No.799/SS/2003.

Being aggrieved thereby, this Revision has been preferred by the petitioner. 3. It is submitted that the learned Sessions Judge ought not to have imposed the condition to deposit the entire amount of Rs.1,50,000/- in the lower Court. It is further submitted that the petitioner has a very good case on merit and hence the condition of depositing Rs.1,50,000/- be deleted. I am not inclined to delete the said condition entirely. However, I am inclined to modify the same. 4. The amount of Rs.1,50,000/- as mentioned by the learned Sessions Judge in its order dated 24.5.2007 is reduced to Rs.75,000/-.
