He further states that since sentence awarded is two years and the petitioner has already undergone more than 45 days in this case, therefore, petitioner is liable to be released on probation under the Probation of Offenders Act. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, while maintaining the conviction of the petitioner, the present petition is disposed of with the direction that petitioner be released on probation under Section 4(1) of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, for a period of one year on furnishing his personal bond and undertaking with one surety to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court that he will keep peace and be of good behaviour. In case he is found to be indulged in such like illegal activities, sentence awarded by the Court below shall stand revived automatically. However, fine imposed upon the petitioner is enhanced to Rs.10,000/-. The petitioner is directed to deposit the above said amount, within one month from today, with the Trial Court. On deposit so being made, the Trial Court shall issue notice to the victims and disburse the amount to them forthwith. It is made clear that in case, enhanced amount is not deposited, as directed above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed and the order of the Courts below shall stand revived automatically. With above mentioned modification, this revision petition stands disposed of. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 10.01.2011 sk.
