Provision for deposit of 20% in complaint -- Standalone liability -- Closing of defence not permissible – This section does not authorize the Trial Court to pass any order, having consequences against the accused qua the steps of the trial; in case of non-payment of interim compensation -- This section does not authorize the Court to close the defense or to take any other step for speeding up the trial as such -- This provision is intended to create a 'stand alone liability' which has to be discharged independent of the trial and which shall have consequences outside the trial only.
