                                               IN THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH
                                                            AT JABALPUR
                                                               CRR No. 2505 of 2022
                                                              (DEVENDRA SINGH Vs VIPIN SONI)

                                   Dated : 12-07-2022
                                         Shri Siddharth Bhola, learned counsel for the applicant.

                                         Heard on I.A. No.12574/2022, which is an application filed by the
                                   applicant for suspension of sentence and grant of bail.
                                         The applicant has been convicted by the trial Court under Section 138 of
                                   the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced to R.I. for 03 months with
                                   compensation of Rs.3,94,000/- with default stipulation.

                                         The aforesaid conviction and sentence has been affirmed by the lower
                                   appellate Court.
                                         Learned counsel for the applicant submits that jail sentence awarded to
                                   the applicant is 3 months. The applicant is in custody and this revision would
                                   take considerable to dispose of finally. In view of the aforesaid, prayer is made
                                   to suspend the jail sentence of the applicant and to release him on bail.
                                         Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and period of jail
                                   sentence awarded to the applicant, I deem it to be a fit case to suspend the jail
                                   sentence of the applicant, therefore, without commenting on the merit of the

                                   case, this application is allowed.
                                         It is directed that subject to depositing a sum of Rs.50,000/- out of the
                                   aforesaid compensation amount in addition to the amount already deposited by
                                   the appellant, if any, within 15 days from today and on furnishing a personal
                                   bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- [Rupees Fifty Thousand only] with one
