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 539/24 in CA 131/24
judgment and order dated 05/02/2024 for the offence punishable
under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced to
suffer Simple Imprisonment for two months and to pay a fine of
Rs.95,000/­, and in default, he shall suffer Simple Imprisonment for one
month.
2.

Heard the learned advocate for the appellant.

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
1.

Criminal Bail Application No.539 of 2024 is allowed.
