Petitioner is the appellant in Crl.Appeal No. 426/2013 on the file of the Court of Sessions, Kottayam. The appellate court suspended the sentence passed in S.T.No. 1/2013 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Vaikom and released him on bail on executing a bond for Rs. 25,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial court and to deposit 1/4th compensation amount within one month. Aggrieved by the order copy of which is marked as Annexure VII, the appellant preferred this Crl.M.C petition seeking intervention of this Court.
2. It is submitted that the direction to deposit 1/4th compensation amount is causing serious prejudice and irreparable loss to the petitioner. According to him, the condition is unreasonable.
3. It is submitted that the petitioner's wife is under treatment and that his property is under attachment in the suit filed by the complainant and that the petitioner is unable to deposit 1/4th compensation amount as ordered. In the circumstance, the Crl.M.C. No.762/2014 :
2. : petitioner pray to lift the condition to the extent the order imposed the condition of deposit of 1/4th of compensation amount.
4. Having regard to the facts and circumstance of the case, this Court is inclined to modify the condition to deposit 1/4th of the compensation amount.
