a period of four weeks from today.

7.Therefore, this Court directs the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, to submit a report to this Court regarding the compensation amount deposited by the Appellant to the Trial Court. If the Appellant fails to comply with the condition as per judgment dated 26.10.2022, the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, shall pass appropriate order, in continuation of the judgment passed by the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, in S.C.No.6 of 2015 dated 11.04.2018, thereby confining the Appellant/Accused to prison. 06.07.2023 cda NOTE: Issue Order Copy on 06.07.2023.
