No.3301 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 10th day of November, 2010 ORDER The challenge in this Crl.R.P is against the conviction and sentence imposed against the revision petitioner who is the accused in a prosecution for the offence under section 138 of the NI Act. 2. Learned counsel for the revision petitioner submitted that the revision petitioner has no contention on merit and he requires some time to pay the compensation amount since the revision petitioner met with an accident. I find no reason to decline the above request. Accordingly, while confirming the conviction under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act and the sentence, the order to pay compensation and the compensation amount as fixed by the appellate court, the revision petitioner is granted 45 days time to pay the compensation amount and it is made clear that the default sentence fixed by the appellate court will be attracted only in case of default on the part of the revision petitioner in depositing the compensation amount within 45 days from today. Accordingly, the revision petitioner is directed to CRRP 3301/10 :-2-: appear before the trial court on 27th December, 2010, to receive the sentence and to pay the compensation amount. In case of any failure on the part of the revision petitioner in appearing before the trial court as directed above, the trial court is free to take coercive steps against the revision petitioner to secure his presence and to execute the sentence and to realise the compensation amount. Coercive steps is any pending against the revision petitioner shall be kept in abeyance till 27-12-2010. Subject to the extension of time to pay the compensation amount, this Crl.R.P. is dismissed.
