It is noted that the petitioner has now secured the demand draft, thereby complying with the conditions imposed by the appellate Court for granting the stay of the conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. In view of this, the petitioner is permitted to file a fresh application and furnish the demand draft before the appellate Court. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:35250 CRL.P No. 10235 of 2025 3. As the petitioner has expressed willingness to deposit 20% of the fine amount along with the required surety, the appellate Court is directed to take a lenient view, extend the time for deposit of the fine amount, and thereafter proceed to hear the appeal on its merits. 4. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the captioned petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM) JUDGE ALB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 75
