THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4819 OF 2007 ORDER: Petitioners herein were tried for the offence punishable under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act by the court below and after trial found them guilty of the said offence and accordingly sentenced them to pay fine of Rs.1 Lakh each towards compensation to the complainant, in default, to suffer simple imprisonment for six months. As against the order the petitioners approached the appellate court and filed an appeal. Along with the appeal they also filed an application seeking suspension of the order passed by the trial court. But, however, the said application was dismissed. Hence they approached this court and filed the present petition. This court while ordering notice before admission, by its order dated 14.08.2007 granted interim suspension on condition of the petitioners depositing half of the compensation amount within four weeks from that day. Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner Mr. Upendra stated that he does not have any instructions as to whether the said order is complied with or not. Further, the notices sent to the respondents have not been served. Whether the conditional order is complied with or not, there is no need to keep the appeal pending. Hence, if the conditional order is complied with the court below is directed to proceed with the appeal -------------- 21.04.2010 Kvsn
