BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.KAMMAPPU THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No.2998 OF 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of July, 2010 ORDER While suspending the sentence imposed on the petitioner who was convicted in S.T.No.1697/2006 on the file of the J.F.C.M Court-III, Palakkad in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, involving a cheque for Rs.85,000/-, the Sessions Court, Palakkad in Criminal Appeal No.314/2010 directed the petitioner to execute a bond for Rs.40,000/- with two sureties and also to deposit 1/4th of the compensation amount before the trial court within two months. It is the said order which is assailed in this Criminal M.C. 2. Considering the cheque amount, I am not inclined to hold that the quantum for deposit fixed by the court below in the appeal is wrong. Accordingly, this Criminal M.C is dismissed granting the petitioner three months time from today to deposit the 1/4th of the compensation amount. The impugned order will stand modified to the above limited extent. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
