ORDER
This bail application is filed by the appellant/accused on the
background that he has been convicted by the learned trial Court in
C.C.

No.0602115/SC/2022
by
its
judgment
and
order
dated
05/01/2024 for the offence punishable under section 138 of the
­2­
Negotiable
Instruments
Act
and
BA 377/24 in CA 95/24
sentenced
to
suffer
Simple
Imprisonment for one year. The appellant/accused is also directed to
pay to the complainant compensation to the tune of Rs.7,00,000/­, and
in default, he shall undergo Simple Imprisonment for three months.
2.

Heard the learned advocate for the appellant and the
learned advocate for the respondent No.2. 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 direction to pay compensation 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
1.

Criminal Bail Application No.377 of 2024 is allowed.

2.

The appellant/accused Sudhakar Vitthal Narvekar shall be
released on bail on executing the P.R. bond of Rs.25,000/­ with
surety in the like amount.

within one month.

Liberty is given to the appellant/accused to furnish the cash
security in lieu of solvent surety.
