Reported in: (1925)ILR49Bom440

Norman Macleod, Kt., C.J.1. In this case the complainant was called upon to show cause why he should not pay compensation to the accused under Section 250, Criminal Procedure Code. An order was thereafter made that, as the complainant was unable to show cause, he should pay Rs. 20 to each of the accused Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, Rs. 40 to No. 6 and Rs. 100 to No. 5. An appeal was filed under Sub-section (3) of Section 250. The learned Sessions Judge appears to have been of opinion, that the appeal was only competent as regards the Rs. 100 awarded as compensation to accused No. 5, and that he could not deal with the amounts awarded to the other accused because they were under Rs. 50.
