V.P.Govindaraj v. P.Senthilkumar

Crl.M.P.No.4021 of 2016 in Crl.R.C. No.587 of 2016 DR.P.DEVADASS , J.

The petitioner, who is the appellant in C.A.No.14 of 2014 on the file of the III Additional Sessions Judge, Vellore at Tirupattur which has been preferred as against the judgment in C.C.No.194 of 2008 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Tirupattur, Vellore District seeks suspension of his sentence of imprisonment.

2. This matter arises out of a cheque bouncing case under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in C.C.No.194 of 2008 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Tirupattur, Vellore District. He was convicted under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced to 6 months S.I. It was confirmed by the learned III Additional Sessions Judge, Vellore at Tirupattur in C.A.No.14 of 2014.

3. Upon hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the revision petitioner and on perusing the judgment of the Trial Court and the materials on record, I find prima facie case. His sentence was suspended by the Trial Court and also by the Appellate Court. It is a fact that it will take some time for the disposal of the criminal revision. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant him bail under section 397 Cr.P.C.
