The Judge while suspending the sentence directed the petitioner to deposit 25% of the pecuniary punishment i.e. Rs.70,000/-. The petitioner did so. However, subsequently the respondent No.2, Mr. Chandra Mohan Yadav, filed an application before the learned Judge praying that the said amount should be disbursed to him.

3. Therefore, vide order dated 27.03.2008, the learned Judge directed that the said amount shall be disbursed to respondent No.2 provided he gives a surety for the same. According to the learned counsel, the amount should, in fact, have been kept in a nationalized bank, instead of being disbursed.
