Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced him to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months and to pay a compensation of Rs. 3,00,000/-, in default to undergo Simple Imprisonment for a further period of three months. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal in C.A.No.150 of 2018 on the file of the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Tiruchirappalli. While pending the appeal, the petitioner filed a petition in Cr.M.P.No.5302 of 2018 for suspension of sentence imposed by the trial Court. The Appellate Court, by order dated 05.12.2018, while suspending the sentence, imposed a condition that the petitioner shall deposit a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- on or before 21.12.2018. However, the petitioner did not comply with the said condition and filed the present revision.

That apart, on perusal of the records revealed that the Appellate Court rightly imposed the condition while suspending the sentence and this Court finds no infirmity or illegality in the order passed by the Court below and the revision is liable to be dismissed.
