BASANT, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Crl. R.P. No. 127 OF 2008 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008 O R D E R The petitioner has suffered a verdict of guilty, conviction and sentence in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The petitioner now faces a sentence of imprisonment till rising of court. There is a further direction to pay an amount of Rs.60,000/- as compensation under Section 357(3) Cr.P.C. and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for three months. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner only submits that the petitioner may be granted a week's further time to make the payment of the amount due as per the impugned judgment. I find absolutely no reason to grant any further time. The petitioner can appear before the learned Magistrate on any day and deposit the amount. Once the amount is paid/deposited as directed, there can be no question of any Crl.R.P.No.127/08 : 2 : default sentence being executed against the petitioner. The position is made crystal clear in the decision in Girish Vs. Muthoot Capital Services (P) Ltd. [2007 (1) KLT 16]. 3. No further contentions are raised or reliefs claimed. I am satisfied, in these circumstances, that the revision petition can be dismissed with the above observations. This revision petition is accordingly dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) aks
