2021 (8) TMI 1301 - SC - Indian LawsMaintainability of criminal revision petition - deposit of fine amount shall be a condition precedent even for entertaining the criminal revision petition, preferred by the accused in terms of Section 397 read with Section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 or not - HELD THAT:- The High Court could not have made the deposit of fine amount a condition precedent for the purpose of hearing the revision petition. As to what order is to be passed ultimately in the revision petition is a matter entirely different and that would depend on the examination of the matter in terms of the requirements of revisional jurisdiction but, in any case, depositing of fine amount could not have been made a condition precedent for the purpose of even hearing of the revision petition so filed by the appellant. The impugned order is, therefore, set aside - the case is not commented on merits of the case either way and all the aspects relating to revision petition are left open for consideration by the High Court - Appeal allowed.
