While admitting Appeal, the learned Sessions Court suspended the execution of sentence of imprisonment subject to depositing 50% of the amount of Rs.80,000/- within 30 days. The Petitioner found it difficult to make the payment within a period of 30 days and therefore, he preferred present Writ Petition. :2: 3.

After some discussion at par, the learned Counsel for both the parties point out that the Petitioner had sought 3 months time for payment of Rs.40,000/-.

The Writ Petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid directions. ( J.H. BHATIA, J.) J.H. BHATIA, J.) J.H. BHATIA, J.)
