¶18

The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the delay in deposit was neither wilful nor wanton, and since the petitioner could not mobilize the funds, due to unavoidable personal reasons he sought for extension and the said petition was returned; and that the petitioner would abide by any stringent conditions and prayed for setting aside the docket order. He would further submit that the petitioner would deposit 30% of the cheque amount within 15 days from today.

¶19

In view of the aforesaid submission, this Court is of the view that on the condition of the petitioner depositing 30% of the cheque amount within 15 days from today, the sentence imposed on the petitioner shall be suspended, subject to his complying with the other conditions imposed by the learned Sessions Judge.
