The applicant/accused of Cr.
Appeal No.636/1997 decided on 11.1.2013, has filed this petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C.for extension of time to deposit the enhanced sum of the fine amount.
While deciding the aforesaid Cr.
Appeal, by extending the acquittal to the applicant from the offence of Section 304-B of IPC, his conviction and sentence under Section 498-A of I.P.C.was affirmed and his awarded jail sentence was reduced upto the period for which he had already undergone by enhancing the amount of fine from Rs.500/- to Rs.7,500/- with a direction to deposit the same within 45 days failing which, he has to suffer further six months rigorous imprisonment.
Within the aforesaid period the fine amount was not deposited and thereafter, this petition has been preferred for extension of time.
Having heard, perused the petition for the reasons stated in it, I am satisfied that sufficient cause is made out to extent the time to deposit the aforesaid enhanced fine amount hence, by allowing this petition the applicant is extended further period of fifteen days from today to deposit the enhanced sum of the fine amount failing which, he has to suffer the awarded sentence in default of depositing the fine amount.
Petition is allowed as indicated above.
