The   cheque   is<\/p>\n<p>for   an   amount   of   Rs.1,00,000\/-.     It   bears   the   date   07\/12\/1998.\n<\/p>\n<p>After   indulgent   modification   of   the   sentence   by   the   appellate<\/p>\n<p>court, the petitioner now faces a sentence of S.I for a period of<\/p>\n<p>three  months and  there   is   a direction  to pay the   actual  cheque<\/p>\n<p>amount   of   Rs.1,00,000\/-   as   compensation   under   Section   357(3)<\/p>\n<p>Cr.P.C and in default to undergo S.I for a period of one month.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.     The   signature   in   the   cheque   is   admitted.     Notice   of<\/p>\n<p>demand   though   duly   received   and   acknowledged   did   not   evoke<\/p>\n<p>any response. The accused did not adduce any defence evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.     The courts below concurrently came to the conclusion<\/p>\n<p>that   the   complainant   has   succeeded   in   establishing   all   the<\/p>\n<p>ingredients   of   the   offence   punishable   under   Section   138   of   the<\/p>\n<p>N.I   Act.     Accordingly   they   proceeded   to   pass   the   impugned<\/p>\n<p>concurrent judgments.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     Called   upon   to   explain   the   nature   of   the   challenge<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.214\/2008                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>which   the   petitioner   wants   to   mount   against   the   impugned<\/p>\n<p>concurrent   judgments,   the   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner<\/p>\n<p>only   prays   that   leniency   may   be   shown   on   the   question   of<\/p>\n<p>sentence.  Some further time may be granted to the petitioner to<\/p>\n<p>raise   and   pay   the   amount   of   compensation   and   thus   avoid   the<\/p>\n<p>default sentence.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.     Having   gone   through   the   impugned   concurrent<\/p>\n<p>judgments, I reckon that as an informed and fair stand taken by<\/p>\n<p>the learned counsel for the petitioner.   The verdict of guilty and<\/p>\n<p>conviction   are   found   to   be   absolutely   justified   and<\/p>\n<p>unexceptionable.       In   the   absence   of   challenge   on   any   specific<\/p>\n<p>grounds,   it   is   not   necessary   for   me   to   advert   to   facts   in   any<\/p>\n<p>greater detail in this order.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.     Coming   to   the   question   of   sentence,   I   have   already<\/p>\n<p>adverted to the principles governing imposition of sentence in a<\/p>\n<p>prosecution  under  Section  138  of  the  N.I.Act  in   the  decision  in<\/p>\n<p>Anilkumar   vs.Shammi  [2002(3)KLT   852].   In   the   facts   and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances   of   the   case,   I   find   no   compelling   reasons   which<\/p>\n<p>can persuade this court to insist on imposition of any deterrent<\/p>\n<p>substantive sentence of imprisonment. Leniency can be shown to<\/p>\n<p>the   petitioner   but  subject   only   to  the   compulsion   of  adequately<\/p>\n<p>and fairly compensating the victim  who has now been compelled<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.214\/2008                       3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>to fight two rounds of legal battle and to wait from 1998 for the<\/p>\n<p>redressal  of his grievances.   The challenge  can succeed only  to<\/p>\n<p>the above extent.\n<\/p>\n<p>       7.     In the nature of the relief which I propose to grant, it<\/p>\n<p>is   not   necessary   to   wait   for   issue   and   return   of   notice   to   the<\/p>\n<p>respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>       8.     In the result:\n<\/p>\n<p>       a)      This revision petition is allowed in part.\n<\/p>\n<p>       b)       The impugned verdict of guilty and conviction of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner under Section 138 of the N.I.Act are upheld.\n<\/p>\n<p>       c)     But the sentence imposed is modified and reduced.  In<\/p>\n<p>supersession   of   the   sentence   imposed   on   the   petitioner   by   the<\/p>\n<p>courts below, he is sentenced to undergo imprisonment till rising<\/p>\n<p>of court.   He is further directed under Section 357(3) Cr.P.C to<\/p>\n<p>pay   an   amount   of   Rs.1,20,000\/-   (Rupees   one   lakh   twenty<\/p>\n<p>thousand   only)   as   compensation   and   in   default,   to   undergo   S.I<\/p>\n<p>for a period of three months.  If realised, the entire amount shall<\/p>\n<p>be released to the complainant as compensation.\n<\/p>\n<p>       9.     The petitioner is said to be undergoing imprisonment<\/p>\n<p>now   in   execution   of   the   sentence   imposed.     I   am   satisfied   that<\/p>\n<p>subject   to   appropriate   conditions,   the   petitioner   can   be   given<\/p>\n<p>further   time   to   make   the   payment   and   avoid   the   default<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.214\/2008                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>sentence.     It   is   hence   directed  that   if   the   petitioner   executes   a<\/p>\n<p>bond   for   Rs.50,000\/-   (Rupees   fifty   thousand   only)   with   two<\/p>\n<p>solvent   sureties  each  for   the   like  sum   to  the   satisfaction  of   the<\/p>\n<p>learned   Magistrate   and   deposits   an   amount   of   Rs.25,000\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>(Rupees   twenty   five   thousand   only),   the   petitioner   shall   be<\/p>\n<p>released   from   custody   forthwith   on   condition   that   he   shall<\/p>\n<p>appear   and   his   sureties   shall   produce   him   before   the   learned<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate   on   or   before   01\/04\/2008   for   execution   of   the<\/p>\n<p>sentence.   By then, the petitioner can raise and pay the amount<\/p>\n<p>and avoid the default sentence.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Hand over copy of this order to the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                       (R.BASANT, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>jsr<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.214\/2008    5<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.R.P.No.214\/2008    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                          R.BASANT, J<\/p>\n<p>                            Crl.M.A.Nos.21 &amp; 65 of 2008<\/p>\n<p>                               in Crl.R.P.No.765 of 2007<\/p>\n<p>                                                ORDER<\/p>\n<p>                            17th  DAY OF JANUARY 2008<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Philip vs The State Of Kerala on 30 January, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl Rev Pet No. 214 of 2008() 1.
