Learned counsel for the petitioner has paid an amount of Rs.1 lakh to the respondent who is present in Court. The only other apprehension that the respondent has expressed that the petitioner is threatening to involve him in false cases. The petitioner on the other hand has solemnly affirmed that he has not filed any complaint against the respondent and has no intention of involving him in any false complaint. The petitioner has undergone almost 12 days in custody. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to reduce the sentence of the petitioner to that he has already undergone even while upholding his conviction. Ordered accordingly.
