Cr. Revision No. 209 of 2010 21.10.2010 Present: Mr. H.R. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P.K. Sharma, Addl. A.G. with Ms. Shubh Mahajan, Deputy Advocate General, for respondent No.2. Cr. Revision No. 209 of 2010 The grievance of the petitioner is that both the Courts below have sentenced and convicted him for offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. The learned trial Court, on the evidence before it, held the petitioner’s guilty for offence as charged on the facts as pleaded which were that the petitioner had issued a cheque amounting to Rs. 50,000/- for consideration, which was dishonoured without any reasonable cause. The learned Court on the basis of evidence on record concluded that the cheque had been issued for valuable consideration and had been dishonoured without any reasonable cause. The Court accordingly imposed the compensation Rs.70,000/- and in default, to undergo simple imprisonment for seven days. The substantive sentence of imprisonment was three months. These findings have been affirmed by the learned Appellate Court. I am not inclined to accept this submission made on behalf of the petitioner that the judgments of the Courts below suffer from any perversity or require interference of this Court in exercise of its powers under Section 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This revision petition is accordingly dismissed. The sentence of imprisonment is set aside on the condition that the petitioner herein shall deposit the compensation amount before the learned trial Court within a period of two months from today, failing which the sentence of imprisonment shall revive and the petitioner shall be taken into custody to serve out the substantive sentence of imprisonment. If any amount has been deposited by the petitioner towards the compensation amount, it would be determined by the learned trial Court and adjusted towards the compensation to be paid. On deposit of the amount before the learned trial Court, it shall be paid to the respondent herein. Petition stands disposed of. October 21, 2010 (Dev Darshan Sud), ms Judge
