CORAM : HIS HONOUR ADDL. SESSIONS JUDGE
K. P. SHRIKHANDE. (C. R. No.87)
DATED : 2nd April, 2024.
ORDER
This bail application is filed by the appellants/accused on the
background that they have been convicted by the learned trial Court in
C.C. No.40/SS/2020 by its judgment and order dated 07/02/2024 for
the offence punishable under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments
Act and the appellant/accused No.2 is sentenced to suffer Simple
Imprisonment for a term of two months. He is also directed to pay an
amount of Rs.7,68,767/­ to the complainant as compensation within
thirty days from the date said order, and in default, to suffer further
Simple Imprisonment for a period of one month.
2.

Heard the learned advocate for the appellants. As the
appellant/accused No.2 was on bail during the period of trial, and as
the appellant/accused No.2 has challenged the legality and propriety of
the judgment of conviction by filing the appeal, and considering the
same, as the substantive sentence of imprisonment and direction to pay
compensation have been suspended, I am of the view that the
appellant/accused No.2 can be released on bail. In the result, I proceed
to pass the following order :­
ORDER
1.

Criminal Bail Application No.623 of 2024 is allowed.

2.

The appellant/accused No.2 Devendra Shivaji Palodia @ Shah
shall be released on bail on executing the P.R. bond of
Rs.20,000/­ with surety in the like amount.

3.

The appellant/accused No.2 to furnish bail before the trial Court
within one month.
