State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents ----- Mr.Priyotosh Tiwari i/b. Mr. Ashok M. Saraogi for Petitioner Mrs. R.V. Newtor -APP for the State Mr.Shivkumar Vats for Respondent No.2 ----- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 9TH AUGUST, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner and the Learned Counsel for the Respondent No.2. 2. This petition is filed by the Petitioner challenging the order passed by the Sessions Court, whereby the Sessions Court has directed the Petitioner herein to deposit an amount of Rs.10 lacs. in eight weeks from the date of the order. 3. It is submitted that the said condition which is imposed by the Sessions Court while admitting the 2 (Crim wp 965 of 2010) revision application filed by the Petitioner against the judgment and order of the Learned Magistrate is unreasonable and secondly, it is submitted that the Petitioner is not in a position to pay such a huge amount on account of financial constraints. It is submitted that the Petitioner is ready and willing to deposit an amount of Rs.1 lacs or Rs.2 lacs in the Sessions Court. 4. The learned Counsel for the Respondents, however, submitted that the revision application is ready for hearing and it is kept for final hearing on 18 of this month. 5. In my view, it would be appropriate if the said amount is reduced from Rs.10 lacs to Rs.5 lacs. The Petitioner shall deposit the said amount within a period of four weeks from today. The Sessions Court, however, shall proceed with the revision application as expeditiously as possible. 6. Hence, writ petition is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE J.)
