ORDER
Records reveal that on 26.06.2013, this Court had disposed of the
Crl. Revision Petition by ordering as under:
"i. The Revision Petitioners 2 and 3 shall undergo simple imprisonment for one day till rising of the court.
ii. The first Revision Petitioner shall pay a fine of rs. 5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand Only) within one month from today.
iii. The Revision Petitioners 2 and 3 shall pay Rs. 5,32,500/- (Rupees Five Lakhs Thrity-Two Thousand Five Hundred Only) each to the complainant/1st respondent as compensation within a period of six months from today.
iv. The Revision Petitioners 2 and 3 shall appear before the Trial Court to suffer substantive sentence of simple imprisonment as ordered above on or before 01.01.2014 with sufficient proof to show payment of compensation.
v. In default, the Revision Petitioners 2 and 3 shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one month each.
vi. Execution of sentence imposed under the impugned judgment shall be kept in abeyance till 01.01.2014."
2. On the premise that the writ court has passed an interim order Crl.M.C No. 1262 of 2023
on 13.08.2010 in W.P.(C.) No. 19136/2010, the petitioners have not
complied with the order passed by this Court.
3. Considering the grievances of the petitioners, a learned Single
Judge of this Court has permitted the petitioners to remit certain amounts.
It appears that the petitioners have remitted a total sum of Rs. 5 lakhs.
4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that
the total amount due is Rs. 10,65,000/-, out of which a sum of Rs.
2,00,000/- as directed by the Fast Track Court, Ernakulam when the
sentence imposed in S.T.No. 2373/2008 was suspended.
5. That be the case, if the amount was not disbursed to the
respondent, the respondent will be at liberty to approach the court
concerned and to get released the amount of Rs. 2,00,000/-, deposited as
above.
6. The balance amount, therefore due to the respondent is
5,65,000/-. No further time can be granted for payment of the amount as
the revisional order has become final as early as in the year 2013. At this
stage, Sri. K.R. Vinod, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners,
submits that all efforts shall be taken to clear off the amount as ordered by Crl.M.C No. 1262 of 2023
the revisional court. As a last chance, one month's time is granted to the
petitioners to remit a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/- and the balance amount shall
be remitted within a further period of one month.
Post after one month.
