https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304264 Section 148 of the Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Act, 2018 was treated as applying to appeals against conviction under Section 138 that were pending or filed after the provision came into force, because it operates at the appellate stage as a procedural mechanism to secure recovery of the fine or compensation awarded. The appellate power to suspend sentence may therefore be made subject to compliance with the statutory deposit requirement. The condition directing deposit of 20/25% of the compensation or fine as a prerequisite for suspension of sentence was upheld, and the challenge to the appellate orders failed. en-us Wed, 24 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304264 Section 148 of the Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Act, 2018 was treated as applying to appeals against conviction under Section 138 that were pending or filed after the provision came into force, because it operates at the appellate stage as a procedural mechanism to secure recovery of the fine or compensation awarded.
