Criminal Application No.3926/2026 is filed for suspension of sentence imposed by the learned JMFC vide the impugned judgment and order dated 24.03.2026 in SCC No.421/2023, which is later on confirmed by the learned *2* 2appln3926o26 Additional Sessions Judge, Aurangabad, in Criminal Appeal No.88/2026 vide judgment and order dated 11.09.2026. By the impugned judgment, the applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and he is sentenced to suffer simple imprisonment for three months and pay fine of Rs.2,45,000/- and in default, to undergo simple imprisonment for 30 days. 4. The learned advocate for the applicant states that the applicant has deposited an amount of Rs.50,000/- before the Appellate Court at the time of suspension of sentence. Upon instructions, the learned advocate states that the applicant is willing to deposit Rs.50,000/- more in this Court, on or before 12.10.2026. 5. In view of the above and considering the quantum of sentence and the fact that the revision application having been filed in 2026 would take some time to be heard and decided, the sentence needs to be suspended. Hence, I proceed to pass the following order :- ORDER *3* 2appln3926o26 (i) The substantive sentence imposed on the applicant vide the impugned judgment and order, stands suspended during the pendency of the instant Criminal Revision Application. (ii) The applicant be released on P.R. Bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five thousand only) with one solvent surety in the like amount. (iii) Bail before the Trial Court.
