CRLR No. 76 of 2010 Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J Shri Sanjeev Singh, Advocate present for the revisionist. Shri M.A. Khan, Brief Holder, present for the State/respondent No. 1. Heard. This revision is directed against the order dated 17.03.2010, passed by the Sessions Judge, Haridwar, in criminal appeal No. 36 of 2007. The impugned order shows that after the revisionist’s conviction under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, by the trial court (IInd Special Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar) in criminal case No. 192 of 2006, Shyam Lal vs. Baby, appeal was preferred before the Sessions Judge, Haridwar, by the convict. However, as many as thirty two dates were fixed in the appeal but the appellant did not argue the case nor paid the costs which has totalled Rs. 1,500/-. In the circumstances the appellate court dismissed the appeal. Having considered submissions of the learned counsel for the appellant and after going through the impugned order, in the interest of justice, it is directed that if the revisionist pays the costs amounting Rs. 1,500/- and also deposits 1/3 of amount of compensation directed to be paid by the trial court, within a period of fifteen (15) days from today before the court concerned, the appeal shall stand restored, and one more opportunity shall be given to the appellant for hearing/arguments in the appeal. If the aforesaid condition is not fulfilled within fifteen (15) days from today this revision shall stand dismissed. The revision stands disposed of accordingly. (P.C.P., J) PV 05.05.2010
