Notice was ordered to the respondent/complainant, but, after service, he has not turned up. When the revision came up for consideration, the learned counsel for the revision petitioner/accused submitted that no arguments on merits to assail the conviction is sought to be addressed, but only a request for extension of time to pay the fine and, thus, avoid the default term of imprisonment. Cheque involved in the case, the dishonour of which had given raise to the prosecution and ultimately the conviction of the accused, is dated 30-05-2007. Having regard to the aforesaid circumstance with regard to the submissions made by the counsel for extension of time, there will be a direction to the learned Magistrate to keep in abeyance the execution of the sentence for a period of six weeks from today to enable the Crl.R.P. No.1775 OF 2011 2 petitioner to pay the fine within such time. In default of payment of the fine, within the time stipulated, the Magistrate shall execute the sentence taking appropriate steps in accordance with law. Revision is disposed of.
