Cr. Revision No. 198 of 2010 5.10.2010 Present: Mr. N.K. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P.K. Sharma, Addl. A.G. with Ms. Shubh Mahajan, Deputy Advocate General, for respondent No.1. The grievance of the petitioner in this revision petition is against the concurrent findings of the two Courts below and his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. Both the Courts below, after detailed consideration of the evidence, have held that the cheque/Negotiable Instrument, subject matter of proceedings, was issued for valuable consideration. In these circumstances, the Courts concluded that the petitioner was guilty of offences under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, as the Negotiable Instrument was not honoured. The petitioner was accordingly sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 2,000/-, compensation of Rs. 50,000/- to the respondent and in default of payment of fine, he was to further undergo simple imprisonment for one month. I have gone through the judgments of the two Courts below. I cannot persuade myself to hold that there is any perversity in the findings of the Courts below. It is but unfortunate that cheque amounting to Rs. 38,000/- should be the cause of litigation in two Courts and the litigation ultimately crowd the docket of this Court. This revision petition is accordingly dismissed. A prayer is made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that sentence of imprisonment be set aside. It is directed that in case the amount of compensation and fine, as ordered by the Courts below is deposited in the trial Court within a period of six weeks from today, the sentence of imprisonment shall not be imposed on the petitioner. In case of failure to deposit the amount of compensation and fine, the petitioner shall undergo sentence of imprisonment, as imposed. A further direction is issued that amount of compensation, when deposited, shall be released to respondent No.2. Petition stands disposed of. The petitioner shall be released from custody, on deposit of the amount as directed by the trial Court. Dasti copy on usual terms. October 05, 2010 (Dev Darshan Sud), ms Judge
