CORAM CORAM CORAM: V.G.PALSHIKAR & V.G.PALSHIKAR & V.G.PALSHIKAR & R.C.CHAVAN, R.C.CHAVAN, R.C.CHAVAN, JJ JJ JJ DATE DATE DATE : 11th August, 2005 : 11th August, 2005 : 11th August, 2005 P.C. . For the reasons separately recorded,we allow the appeal partly, set aside the conviction of the appellant for offence punishable under section 302 of the Penal Code and, instead, convict the appellant of the offence punishable under section 304 Part-II of the Penal Code. Considering the circumstances in which the offence occurred and also the fact that the appellant is a house wife having no adverse antecedents, we felt 2 that sentence of rigorous imprisonment for seven years would meet the ends of justice. Consequently, we direct that the appellant shall suffer rigorous imprisonment for seven years. Appellant shall surrender to her bail within one month before the Sessions Judge, Pune who shall then take steps to have the appellant committed to prison to serve out her sentence. Appellant shall also be entitled to set off as admissible. ( V.G.PALSHIKAR, J. ) V.G.PALSHIKAR, J. ) V.G.PALSHIKAR, J. ) ( R.C.CHAVAN, J.) R.C.CHAVAN, J.) R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
