I am unable to understand why the learned Magistrate is not releasing the amount in deposit to the complainant when this Court had only granted the accused time till 28.02.2007 to appear before the learned Magistrate. It is made clear that the amount in deposit shall forthwith be released to the petitioner if there be no order of stay from the Supreme Court. 3. Hand over a copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner forthwith. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
