CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR J. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR J. 29th NOVEMBER, 2005 29th NOVEMBER, 2005 29th NOVEMBER, 2005 P.C. P.C. P.C. . For the nature of order that I propose to pass, I think, it is not necessary to issue notice to the private respondent complainant. The short controversy involved in this application is whether the Appellate Court was right in insisting upon predeposit of fine amount before proceeding with the hearing of the appeal. The order which is impugned, in my opinion, is a discretionary order. The matter is still pending before the Appellate Court. Counsel for the applicant submits that if four weeks time is granted the applicant will deposit the requisite amount in the Appellate Court whereafter the -2- appeal and bail application can be posted for hearing. The amount in question is stated to be around Rs.4,44,000/- In the circumstances, this application is disposed of by giving four weeks time to the applicant to deposit the above said amount in the Appellate Court. On such deposit being made, the Appellate Court may proceed with the appeal and bail application in accordance with law. If no deposit is made within four weeks from today, it will be open for the Appellate Court to pass such order as it deems fit. . Revision application is disposed of in the above terms.
