The amendment applies to pending appeals, so a challenge to such a conditional deposit order fails where the appeal remains before the appellate court. The contention that compensation is outside the scope of the provision was rejected in view of the amended wording, and the appellate direction to deposit 20% of the compensation was upheld. en-us Wed, 10 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 01 Sep 2021 21:53:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=297391 Amended proviso to Section 148 of the Negotiable Instruments Act authorises an appellate court, in an appeal against conviction under Section 138, to direct deposit of at least 20% of the fine or compensation awarded by the trial court as a condition for suspension of sentence.
