imposed by learned Trial Court is ordered to be
suspended till further orders, subject to his furnishing
personal bond in the sum of ₹25,000/- with one surety
in the like amount and to deposit of the fine amount, if
not already deposited earlier, with an undertaking to
appear and serve sentence, in case of dismissal of the
present appeal, within a period of one month from
today.
Learned Trial Court is directed to transmit
the bail bonds, so furnished by the applicant before it,
for placing the same on record.
