IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 21 OF 2011 SHRI. ANANT MANDAR GANUNDALKAR ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA ... Respondent Mr. Rajneesh Naik, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. C. A. Ferreira, Public Prosecutor for respondent no.2. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 25th August, 2011 P.C. Heard Mr. Naik, learned Counsel for the applicant and Mr. Ferreira, learned Public Prosecutor for respondent no.2. 2. This revision filed by the applicant against the judgment and order of conviction passed by the appellate Court confirming the conviction passed by the trial Court, has been already dismissed. The applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 for dishonour of a cheque for an amount of Rs.58,800/- and sentenced to undergo imprisonment till rising of the Court and to pay compensation. Mr. Naik submitted that considering the cheque amount and the fact that the applicant has already paid the compensation of Rs.75,000/- to the complainant/ respondent no.1 and has undergone sentence of imprisonment till rising of the Court and having regard to the fact that the complainant has not challenged the order passed by the lower appellate Court, the substantive sentence be not imposed on the applicant. The learned Counsel further submitted that the applicant is ready to pay by way of costs an amount of Rs.5,000/- in favour of the Goa State Legal Services Authority, Panaji. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as mentioned by the learned Counsel for the applicant, I am of the considered opinion that this is not a fit case in which the substantive sentence imposed on the applicant deserves to be enhanced. Interest of justice would be served by permitting the applicant to deposit an amount of Rs.5,000/- in favour of the Goa State Legal Services Authority, Panaji within a period of four weeks. The notice issued to the applicant for enhancement of sentence is dropped subject to the applicant paying costs of Rs.5,000/- in favour of the Goa State Legal Services Authority Panaji. A. P.
