    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the petitioner's plea to quash the condition requiring deposit of 10% compensation in a cheque dishonour case under Section 148 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court held that mere financial difficulty is insufficient to exempt from the mandatory deposit requirement, which aims to expedite justice and protect complainants, and that such condition does not deprive the appellant of their right to appeal.
