IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2471 OF 2009 Smt.Santosh Rajesh Gupta : Applicant V/s. M/s.Philips Electronics India Ltd. (Previously known as Philips India Ltd.) & Anr. : Respondents ... Mr.Nilesh Das for the applicant. Mr.P.D.Desai for respondent no.1. Ms A.T. Jhaveri, Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. ... CORAM : S.A. BOBDE, J. DATE : AUGUST 26, 2009. P.C.: 1. Rule, returnable forthwith. The learned counsel for the respective respondents waive service. Heard by consent. 2. The applicant has challenged the order of the appellate Court directing the applicant to deposit a total sum of Rs.21 lakhs in two instalments as a condition for suspension of the sentence. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the right of appeal could not have been arbitrarily curtailed by directing the applicant to deposit a sum of Rs.21 lakhs in this manner. There is, however, no curtailment of the right of appeal in any sense of the term. Condition has been imposed only for suspension of the sentence. It is not possible to accept further argument on behalf of the applicant that the amount directed to be deposited is in no way unreasonable in view of the fact that the amount represents the value of the cheque. In fact, the trial Court had directed payment of Rs.34 lakhs of which the appellate Court directed only deposit of Rs.21 lakhs. Thus, the order is not liable to be interfered with. However, the learned counsel for the respondent no.1 consents that the amount of Rs.21 lakhs imposed as a condition may be reduced to Rs.15 lakhs. The applicant having already deposited Rs.5,10,000/- may deposit the further amount of Rs.10 lakhs within a period of six weeks from today, failing which the said order suspending the sentence shall stand vacated without reference to Court. 3. The Criminal Application stands disposed of. S.A. BOBDE, J.
