Honble KOCHHAR, J. – Notice of this petition has been accepted by the learned PP and with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, the arguments have been heard for final disposal of this petition. (2). The petitioners were tried in the Court of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thanagaji District Alwar, who convicted all of them under Sections 323, 324, 325 IPC read with section 149 IPC and they were sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 200/- on each count. The appeal filed by the petitioners was heard by the learned Additional Sessions Judge No. 2, Alwar, who vide the judgment dated 7.3.1996, upheld the conviction, but, instead of sentencing the petitioners, directed that they should be released on their furnishing bond for keeping good conduct, within a period of one month from the said date. The necessary bonds could not be furnished within the period specified and, thereupon, the petitioners filed an application for extension of time on the ground that the file of the appellate court had not been received by the learned trial Court, but, vide the impugned order dated 14.8.1996, the application has been dis- missed on the ground thatthe time could not be eextended by the Additional Sessions Judge, who had fixed the same and such power can be exercised only by the High Court. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioners have approached this court by filing this petition. (3). If the file of the case had not been received from the Court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge with the copy of the order in question dated 7.3.1996, by the learned trial court, there was good ground for the petitioners to claim the extension of time for complying with the order regarding furnishing of the bonds. If, in these circumstances, the time is not extended, great injustice would be done to the petitioners. (4). Consequently, while allowing this petition, I direct that the time granted by the learned appellate court shall remain extended till 30th September, 1996 and the petitioners are allowed to execute the bonds as directed by the appellate court, within the above said extended period. (5). The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
