No.895\/2001 on the<\/p>\n<p>file of the J.F.C.M., Perumbavoor, challenges the conviction entered<\/p>\n<p>and the sentence passed against him for an offence punishable under<\/p>\n<p>Sec. 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (hereinafter referred to<\/p>\n<p>as &#8216;the Act&#8217;).\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.     I heard the learned counsel for the Revision Petitioner and<\/p>\n<p>the learned Public Prosecutor.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3.     The learned counsel appearing for the Revision Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>re-iterated the contentions in support of the Revision. The courts below<\/p>\n<p>have concurrently held that the cheque in question was drawn by the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner in favour of the complainant on the drawee bank, that<\/p>\n<p>the cheque was validly presented to the bank, that it was dishonoured<\/p>\n<p>for reasons which fall under Section 138 of the Act, that the<\/p>\n<p>complainant made a demand for payment by a notice in time in<\/p>\n<p>accordance with clause (b) of the proviso to Section 138 of the Act and<\/p>\n<p>that the Revision Petitioner\/accused failed to make the payment within<\/p>\n<p>15 days of receipt of the statutory notice.                  Both the courts have<\/p>\n<p>considered and rejected the defence set up by the revision petitioner<\/p>\n<p>while entering the above finding.          The said finding has been recorded<\/p>\n<p>Crl.R.P.No.3237\/07<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      : 2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>on an appreciation of the oral and documentary evidence. I do not find<\/p>\n<p>any error, illegality or impropriety in the finding so recorded concurrently<\/p>\n<p>by the courts below. The conviction was thus rightly entered against<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.      What now survives for consideration is the question as to<\/p>\n<p>whether a proper sentence has been imposed on the Revision<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner. I am, however, inclined to modify the sentence imposed on<\/p>\n<p>the revision petitioner provided he complies with the condition<\/p>\n<p>hereinafter mentioned. Accordingly, if the revision petitioner pays to the<\/p>\n<p>1st respondent complainant by way of compensation under section 357<\/p>\n<p>(3) Cr.P.C. a sum of Rs.1,51,000\/- (Rupees one lakh and fifty one<\/p>\n<p>thousand only) within five months from today, then he need to undergo<\/p>\n<p>only imprisonment till the rising of the court. If on the other hand, the<\/p>\n<p>revision petitioner commits default in making the payment as aforesaid,<\/p>\n<p>he shall undergo simple imprisonment for three months by way of<\/p>\n<p>default sentence. Money, if any, paid by the revision petitioner pursuant<\/p>\n<p>to the orders, if any, passed by the lower appellate court shall be<\/p>\n<p>refunded to the revision petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>      This Revision is disposed of confirming the conviction but<\/p>\n<p>modifying the sentence as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                  (V.
