    Case Summary: K Ganesh v. V.C.

The court held that the appellate court has exclusive power to release such deposits and, applying Section 148 provisions, permitted immediate release to the petitioner, with the condition that if the respondent is acquitted in the pending appeal, the petitioner must redeposit the amount with accrued bank interest.
