Heard Ms Namburi Surya Venkata Maharshi, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Ms. Lakshmi Prasanna, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner, he is a retired teacher and was convicted for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, and sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of ₹12,10,000/-. Aggrieved by the conviction and sentence, the petitioner preferred Crl.A. No.112 of 2024, which is pending consideration before the learned Appellate Court. It is further submitted that, pending the appeal, the petitioner filed Crl.M.P. No.486 of 2024, which was allowed by the appellate court, suspending the sentence of imprisonment, on condition that the petitioner shall deposit 20% of the compensation amount. However, due to his poor financial condition, the petitioner failed to deposit the said amount within the stipulated time, resulting in issuance of a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW), and he is presently confined in the Central Prison on the basis of the conviction warrant. Learned counsel prays that the petitioner may be granted two (2) weeks’ time to comply with the condition imposed by the appellate court for deposit of the amount. 4.
