DATED : 27 th January , 2011 . Heard Mr. A.S. Chandurkar, learned Advocate for the applicants, Mr. A.S.Mehadia, learned Advocate for respondent no.1 and Mr. Bhagwan M. Lonare, learned APP for respondent no.2/State. Mr. Chandurkar, learned Advocate for the applicant submits that the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Akola by order dated 18/5/2010, has suspended the sentence of imprisonment on condition of depositing 25% of compensation amount in two weeks in lower court and on furnishing PR bond of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in like amount. An appeal being Criminal Apeal No. 55/2010 was filed and learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Akola by order dated 16/8/2010, on considering the submissions, directed to deposit 50% of the compensation amount. It was also observed that 25% of the amount of compensation was already deposited and it was directed to deposit remaining 25% of amount of compensation within a period of four weeks from the date of order and on such deposit being made, the conviction and sentence is suspended till the disposal of appeal on merits. 2 Being aggrieved by this order, the applicant has preferred the present criminal application. Mr. Chandurkar, learned Advocate for the applicant, on instructions, submits that he is ready to deposit the further amount of Rs.13,000/- and the directions be given to dispose of the pending appeal within a stipulated period and by this directions and order, without going into the merits of the application, the applicant would be satisfied. In view of the peculiar facts and circumstances and the proposal offered by the learned Advocate for the applicants, which in my opinion, is a fair proposal, the applicants are permitted to deposit an amount of Rs.13,000/- before the lower Court within a period of two weeks from today i.e. on or before 10/02/2011. On deposit of the amount within the stipulated period, the learned court below may endeavour to decide the appeal as early as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date of deposit of the amount of Rs.13,000/-. If the amount is deposited within the stipulated period, as directed by this Court, the order impugned be modified. If the applicants fail to deposit the amount within the stipulated period, there shall be no change in the order. With these directions, the application is disposed of. JUDGE Diwale
