                HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARJAND ALI

Order

18/02/2025

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public

Prosecutor and perused the order dated 27.09.2024 passed by the

learned District & Sessions Judge Bhilwara in Criminal Appeal

No.257/2024.

2. Bereft of elaborate details, briefly stated facts of the case are

that the petitioner was tried and convicted for the offence under

Section 138 of the N.I. Act vide judgment dated 28.08.2024

passed by the learned trial Court. Aggrieved of the judgment of

conviction, he preferred an appeal before the appellate forum and

an application under Section 389 CrPC for suspension of sentence

passed by the court below also came to be filed.

[2025:RJ-JD:9797] (2 of 2) [CRLMP-1377/2025]

3. Vide the order under assail dated 27.09.2024, the learned

court below has allowed the application under Section 389 of the

CrPC with the condition of depositing 20% of the fine amount as

directed by the learned trial court. The grief of the petitioner

would be that in view of the mandate of law and the judgment

passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Jamboo

Bhandari Vs. M.P. State Industrial Development

Corporation Ltd. reported (2023) 10 SCC 446 there is no need

to direct the appellant to deposit 20% of the fine amount, instead

thereof, 10% of the cheque amount may be directed to be

deposited.

4. In view of the limited prayer, the legal provisions and the law

enunciated in this regard by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, I deem it

appropriate to make a slight modification in the order dated

27.09.2024.

5. Accordingly, the instant criminal miscellaneous petition is

allowed in part and the order dated 27.09.2024 passed by the

learned District & Sessions Judge Bhilwara in Criminal Appeal

No.257/2024 is modified in the manner that now the petitioner

would deposit 10% of the cheque amount instead of 20% of the

fine amount as directed by the appellate court. The stay petition is

also disposed of.
