904-APPLN-3832-25.odt 3.

At the outset, it appears that during the trial, the applicant was on bail, and after the passing of the conviction order, he was released on bail. After passing the Judgment and order by the learned appellate court, he did not comply with condition no.3 of the said order that he was to surrender himself before the Court. The conduct of the applicant indicates that the applicant wants to protract the matter instead of complying with the orders passed by the trial Court as well as the appellate Court. 4.

However, considering the nature of offence and punishment awarded on him, I deem it appropriate to suspend the substantive sentence awarded on the applicant by the impugned judgments and orders till disposal of the revision application, subject to deposit of 50% of the cheque amount (including the amount which he has already deposited in the Court) within four weeks from today, till the disposal of the revision. The applicant be released on bail on furnishing P.B. and S.B. of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) with one or two sureties in the like amount within four weeks from today, failing which a necessary order will be passed. 5.

Application is disposed of accordingly.
