The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has already deposited the fine amount on 31-12-2007. it is also submitted that during the trial the applicant was on bail and he has not misused the liberty. He further submits that it is most unlikely that the appeal would come up for final hearing before the expiry of the sentence. 2. Perused the judgment. In my view it is a fit case for grant of bail.
