of <h1>Cheque dishonour appeal: whether accused must pre-deposit compensation u/s148 NI Act despite s.91 documents request; upheld.</h1> In a prosecution for dishonour of cheque, the dominant issue was whether an appellate court could insist on pre-deposit of compensation as a condition for ... Dishonour of Cheque - admission of appeal subject to requirement of pre-deposit of the Compensation award - exceptional circumstance as per section 148 of NI Act - rejection of prayer under Section 91 of the Code of 1973 - it was held by High Court that 'Neither was any such exceptional reason canvassed by the petitioners nor was did the Court find any special reason to act otherwise.' - HELD THAT:- Having considered the matter in its entirety and on hearing the learned senior counsel for the petitioners, as also the facts and circumstances of the present case, it is not pursuaded to interfere in the matter. SLP dismissed. The Court, after considering the matter 'in its entirety' and hearing counsel, held that it was 'not pursuaded to interfere in the matter' and therefore dismissed the Special Leave Petition: 'Accordingly, the Special Leave Petition stands dismissed.' While declining interference on merits, the Court granted limited procedural relief by extending the time previously granted by the High Court (in paragraph 15 of the impugned order) for the appeal to be heard 'in accordance with law,' subject to compliance with the condition that the petitioners deposit 'thirty per cent of the compensation amount' before the Appellate Court. This extension was for 'a further period of six weeks from today.' Any pending application(s) were disposed of.
