ORDER
This bail application is filed by the appellant/accused on the
background that he has been convicted by the learned trial Court by its
­2­
BA 462/24 in CA 116/24
judgment and order dated 22/01/2024 for the offence punishable
under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced to
suffer Simple Imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of
Rs.4,70,000/, and in default, to suffer Simple Imprisonment for two
months.
2.

Heard the learned advocate for the appellant and the
learned advocate for respondent No.1. As the appellant/accused was
on bail during the period of trial, and as the appellant/accused 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 fine have been suspended, I am of the view that
the appellant/accused can be released on bail. In the result, I proceed
to pass the following order :­
ORDER
