BALAKRISHNAN,J. ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C. 3779 of 2011 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of November, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner was convicted by the learned Magistrate in a case filed under Sec.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. He was directed by the learned Magistrate to deposit Rs. 1 lakh as compensation. The learned Sessions Judge while suspending the sentence inter alia directed him to deposit Rs. 25,000/-. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in a very strained financial condition and so that part of the order may be set aside. I find no merit in that submission. The case was filed in the year 2010. So far, admittedly no amount was paid. However, the petitioner is permitted to deposit Rs.10,000/- on or before 16/11/2011; another sum of Rs.8,000/- shall be deposited within three weeks from that date and the Crl.M.C. 3779 of 2011 2 balance amount of Rs.7000/- shall be deposited within another two weeks from that date. This petition is disposed of accordingly. N.K. BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE smvd
